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 thanks to mar. Pours with a hazy amber body and a small white head. Aroma of honey, and biscuity. Taste is husky with honey and a large CO2 presence. Watery and highly carbonated.

Draft at The Copperhead Grill pours a deep amber with a decent off white head. Aroma has malty base with some hints of fruit. Has a good carbination, a lght body, and an okay mouthfeel. Has a watery texture. Fairly decent finish. This is a decent beer, not too heavy or too light has akay flavor and good drinkability.

From a 22 fl. oz. bottle marked 121608-84857. The pour is an amber-copper with a short-lived off-white foamy head, decent carbonation, and light lacing. The aroma is of roasted malts with a near overriped fruity sensation. But it is not unappealing. Medium mouth feel. The flavor starts sweet and malty, becomes a tad bitter,and ends with crispy hops. Not quite as hoppy as the style suggests but still a good experrience.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle. Appearance is brown with a small and short-lived head. Nose is a wonderful example of a German-style Dusseldorf Alt; one of rich munich malt and perhaps a little caramel malt. Originally, I felt the beer lacked depth, but upon a re-tasting, I have changed my mind. Nice complexity, nice combination of malt. For the price, a well-crafted example of the style.

Very underrated beer. Pours golden orange with a nice off white head. Aroma is a little musty with a nice hop/malt balance. Flavor is also a very nice balance of hops and malts. Refreshing, drinkable with a clean, fast bitter finish. I am a big fan.

Draft and bottles. Multiple tastings. (previous tastings from memory) I often pick these up to keep on hand. This is a good ale. Nothing spactacular but very drinkable and one of the lower priced options in my area.
