Commercial Description:
(Jul-Sep) Style be damned once again. An Alt that's a lager? Stickenjab is a sticke or secret alt that was smacked upside the head with lots-o-German hops. Formulated in the collective mind of NJAB (New Jersey Association of Beerwriters), this beer is our fourth collaborative brew. Munich and pilsner malts support an armful of Hersbrucker hops. This crisp, clean amber brew is available is the summer months. 48 IBUs and 6.4% ABV.

'Nuff said. As for the picture on the label,I heard that it's a caricature of a famous beer writer. Can anyone really be that ugly?

Pours a medium caramel color with a touch of caramel in the nose and flavor. This bottle is passed its prime and has substantial oxidation.

Bottle from eclectic. Thanks man! Pours a hazy brown orange with a thin head and great lacing. Aromas of caramel, old grassy/earthy hops, some tart fruits - lemon, apple. The flavor is kind of tart up front. Green apples are followed by a little bread, caramel malts, and earthy hops. Finishes a little tart with some oxidized hop presence. Lightly carbonated and pretty easy to drink all things considered. I am pretty sure this was nice fresh if it tastes this way a few years old. Still drinkable, even though it is obviously starting to decline.

12oz bottle, no date from BrianK, thanks! Hazy orange copper with a small yellow beige head, fading to a ring and film before long. Thin stringy lacing. Aroma of buttery sweet caramel and yeasty bread up front. A little bit of earthy hops are also present. Flavor has a lot of tangy (cherry and apple?) notes that I don’t think should be there, but really didn’t taste all that bad. Plenty of earthiness and caramel, some oxidation present. Low carbonation with medium body. Clearly past its prime, but I don’t think altbiers are meant to be consumed years after bottling. That said, not too bad.

Bottled shared at Cleveland Tasting. Thanks to Brandon for helping figure this one out for me. I notes were written rather poorly I confess. Pour was a murky brown. Kind of sweet and malty.
