Commercial Description:
This full bodied amber ale is modeled after the "altbiers" of Dusseldorf, Germany. Our top fermenting yeast and cold finishing temperature result in a complex, yet clean, full flavor.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin but persistent white head. Aroma is breadcrust, a bit fruity; alt yeast comes through a bit. Taste is toasty, breadcrust malt at the front, a bit of fruit emerging just after, and then a nice dose of grassy hops on the finish. Understated lingering bitterness remains. Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied, with a creamy carbonation. Decent, drinkable, and a little different.

dark copper pour, lots of clarity. fluffy head and thick lace. Floral notes on the nose. Thin bodied the caramel and subtle hops flavors, mostly pine.

Bottle- Deep transparent copper pours an eggshell one finger head. Nose of caramel and bread crust, spicy, floral hops and rye. Tastes of bitter hops and subtle caramel malts. Spicy notes lead to a slight fruity component. This is a very well balanced, easy drinking beer. One that I would purchase regularly if it were available to me locally.

On tap. Reminded me of little kings. This beer is a creamy malt blast. Amazing creamy fluff head. Wouldn’t use the word balenced to descibe any aspect.. High drinkability.
