Draft at the KC F.S. Dark bronze color. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Not that I’m an alt expert but this seemed to be top of the class. Really tasty and well brewed.

Had this one bottled, thanks to Arnie! Nose is typically well-balanced for an alt, complex, and refreshing. Highly quaffable.

Draught at brewpub. IPA with caramel and reddish hue. Sweetness with a little bit of bitterness. Refreshing and nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Flying Saucer in Kansas City. Pretty decent stuff here. Aroma of good malt wafers, a lager herb and grassiness, peanuts, and caramel malts. Poured with a layer of white bubble head, semi-translucent, and deeper amber in color. A light carbonation on the palate, and fairly refreshing, though seemingly not quite to the German minded style for this type of beer. Still, some good notes here. Leafy grass, dark malted caramel, mixed citrus, malted malts, and almond cookies. There was a lot of promise in this beer. I would like to try more of what Free State has to offer.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Just recently available bottled. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, hops and caramel. Tastes of malt and caramel. Very smooth. Nice.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
A deep, clear, caramel color makes you expect this to be a light brew. But instead, its taste is heavier than you would think. It has a chocolate or coffee taste with a hint of bitter that’s unique for an ale. It’s strong but with a very subtly sweet undertaste. A clever, complex ale from this Lawrence, Kansas brewpub.
