I really loved the color and the smell, but that is where it ended. Much too hoppy for my taste. I am reminded when I was in college and one of my friends loved it, to this day I always remember their reaction, though each time I re-try it, I am reminded how much I disagree.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Not a huge fan of ales in general but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Good hop aromas which follow through to the initial taste. Some malty flavouring kicks in and finish well together.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle brought back by a traveling neighbor. This beer pours a clear amber-orange color with a thin and foamy light beige head. Thin sheets of lacing. Light roasted malt and fruit aroma. Light, smooth body with sweet caramel and malt flavors and just a touch of bitterness. The finish is sweet and the malty flavor does not linger long. Overall I would not have pegged this as an Alt at first blush, and knowing that is the target style causes it to lose a little favor with me. Still it is an easy to drink beer if nothing else.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 oz bottle. Grain-mill smell, amber body that I feel as though I was supposed to pull hints of caramel and butterscotch from. Alas, it was very flat all the way through. No fireworks here, but not terrible.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber-red body with a half inch of off-white head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells malty initially but gives a fair bit of American hops in the aroma also. Tastes equal parts malt and an American hop bitterness - grassy, piney, with some citrus. Light to medium in body with ample carbonation and a semi-clean finish. Reminds me more of an American Amber than an altbier. Either way, a very tasty drinkable beer. I can see buying this one on a regular basis.
