Commercial Description:
A deep reddish-amber brew that is characterized by the savory toasted flavors of Munich malt. German varieties of hops are used in the brewing process which lends a European flare that is much like the "Altbier" style of Dusseldorf. Having a medium body and a firm, crisp finish gives the perception of driness, leaving the drinker quenched and ready to quaff another.

Deep red color with nice head and lace. Tastes malty with an after taste of hops. IMO it’s a good blend of the two.

Pours a slightly cloudy deep amber. Foamy tan head with some lasting power. Aromas of hops and caramel. Good flavors of caramel and malt, with a hint of citrus on the finish. Bought this because of the display at Sun Devil Liquors, but was nicely surprised.

Roasted malt and dried fruit aroma. Amber color with a tan bubbly head. Flavor is sweet initially, with malt, rasin, and some caramel flavors. Slightly dry finish with a light bitter duration. Palate is full bodied. Flavor is nice and rich but not too heavy. Good.

Red in color with creamy head. Aroma was malts, roasted grains and hops. Flavor was rich in malts, caramel, dough, and a hop bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied and very satisfying. Good alt.

Pours a translucent ruby amber with an average off with creamy head that left some lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, citrus hops, vanilla, lots of sweet malts! Flavor of sweet malts, slightly fruity an d little hoppy. Lingering hop bitterness.
