The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Smells malty and dry, but not too much. Tastes also malty and dry, little spicy notes. Very drinkable. Really good alt!

A Mes rate: Gravity serving at Zeitgeist.
Golden brown with a slim white head. Big creamy wheat, lots of tobacco, slight tangy sourness and some lovely wood and earth. Big wheat and straw notes. A little harsh on the finish but a decent alt at the end of the day.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Delicious white and compact foam covers the clear amber body. Fresh smelling alt displaying plenty of grassy tones over the gentle grainy maltiness of utter softness. More developed than most. Light nutty nuances accompany the crisp, toasty and rather dry maltiness. Mild fruitiness can’t be picked out individually, but is felt throughout. Strong, tight-bubbled effervescence is exquisitely refreshing. Slight woodiness. Extremely crisp altbier. Very active in mouth and this is what I’ll remember. Almost minty in its herbal finish. Hugely fresh.
