6-pack from Total Wine, River Edge, NJ...bottle pours copper in color, white head...light floral smell with some malt, toffee...taste was much of the same with a bit of metallic flavor as well...this was just OK, I’ve had some better offerings from O.C.

Amber body with a small white head. Aroma is sweet and nutty. Taste is sweet with a nutty/earthy feel to it. A good amount of hops as well. I am impressed!

On tap at Rattle ’n’ Hum, NYC. It’s an alt, and very true to style. Sweetish, a bit yeasty. Not interesting at all, a beer type that does not make for superlatives.

Jacksonville, Fl. - Total Wine - 12 oz bottle. Pours a medium copper with a tight white head. Malty, sweet aroma with some subtle citrus notes. Little bit of house taste funkiness that all Otter Creek’s seem to have. some caramel, muted citrus and a hint of bitterness. Decently thick mouthfeel with a bit too much carbonation though.

Draft@ Rattle & hum. This is somehow billed as an Altbier but it isn’t, it’s a weak IPA. Metalllic etc.

Orange color with a frothy white head. A bit sweet with no real aroma other than some caramel. Some burnt toffee flavors and possible stale flavors. Metallic flavors very prevalant.
