4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
After reading these reviews, its hard to imagine you are drnking the same beer. This is a non-pasturized product and I too got a sour 6 pack last year.
This is my favorite Olde Towne Beer...been drinking it since the brewery opened. The recipe moved around a bit at first, but settled in last spring.
Nice clear amber/brown color, malty, a little hops, overall a very smooth, easy to drink beer, with little to no aftertaste. You guys need to try this one again...fresh...not after planes, trains and automobiles.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark amber in color with a small white head. Sweet aroma of raisins with a touch of roasted nuts, alcohol, and malt. Watery, a little fizzy, and quite flavorful - just not well balanced. A mish mash of strong raisiny flavors are accompanied by notes of caramel, malt, and roated nuts. One of the oddest ambers I’ve ever tasted.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
UPDATED: JUN 29, 2006 This beer came to me in my beer club. I have never heard of the brewer before. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small white head. The aroma is sour tangy vinegar. The flavor is bitter vinegar. I should assume that I had an infected bottle. Otherwise this can only be considered crap.

Bottle via beerandblues2, thanks brad, for this and a new state for me! Dark amber/copper head, with thin beige ring of head. Malted sour grape aroma. Not that great, but not offensive. Cardboard too. Sweet skunky malt flavours, with a sourish flavour. Strange. Fizzy finish, weird cause there was no head. Thanks brad!

Closer to copper than amber in appearance with a short & fizzy, off-white head. The only words I can muster for the aroma are "weak" and "sour". A flat and sour flavor/presence conclude this unimpressive tasting.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Deep dark amber color with a rich malt aroma. It carries a nice sweet taste of the malt with a carmel and little hint grain finishing it. For some reason I just really like this one.

12 oz. bottle from the Beer of the Month Club. Pours murky dark red with a tan head and no lacing. Very malty nose with some sweet corn notes. Very sweet malt flavor with no balancing hops. Not that well made.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Hazy deep amber color with a thin head. Has a fruity aroma with a slight vinegar aroma. Very heavy and malty, almost too sickly sweet.

not bad at all.. Huntsville is an up and coming city with an up and coming brewery.. they offer draft versio9ns of these at a local joint called Sazios.. a great watering hole.. especially after a hot summer day in North Alabama.

12 oz bottle via trade with beerandblues2 - Thanks Brad! - Pours copper with a short offwhite head that fades pretty quick. Aroma is caramel malts and a touch of brown sugar. Flavor is sweet caramel malts, a bit of honey and brown sugar. Palate is thin and somewhat watery. Somewhat below average mostly because of the palate.
