3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brauhaus. Not very brown at all -- more caramel looking with a trim beige head. Smells and tastes of malt, faint caramel, and grass. Moderately sweet on the finish with further caramel and mild orange pulp. Fair.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hausbrauerei Hops & Barley, Berlin. Sötétebb árnyalatú vörösesbarna szín, kevés piszkosfehér, ám kitartó hab. Illata karamellás és kissé fémes, íze szintén karamellás, aszalt gyümölcsös, keserédes. Közepesen testes, könnyen iható, eléggé jellegtelen ale.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Beer No. 43 on my tour through Austria, Germany and Denmark.
On tap at Hops & Barley. Clear amber coloured, small off-white head, hint of caramel in the nose. Weak malty, caramel and light nutty with touch of dried fruits in the finish. Bitterish sweet finish. Nothing special here.

Draught. High creamy lasting off-white head. Hazy amber body. Weak malty caramel aroma and flavor with little hops bitterness, low carbonation and a long bittersweet finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draught at Hausbrauerei Hops & Barley, Berlin, March 2009. No ABV given. Darkish red/brown. Quite nutty, with a touch of roast malt and an ale-typical earthy aroma. Some residual sweetness with more nuts and fruit lingering on the finish. Definitely more of a brown ale than an altbier. Not my favourite style but this was a creditable and interesting effort.
