3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is bready and fresh with some molasses in the nose. Flavor is like taking a big bite of fresh bread - some nice sweetness in there thats balanced well with a nice helping of hops. Good Alt!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice brown color,not much head. Sweet malt aroma, mild. Much better than I expected to be honest. Was unprepared. Balanced hops with malt seetness. Not too complex just tasty. Reuse this one for homebrew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This beer pours a very dark caramel color, with little head. The aroma is very prominently of malt. It tastes of malt with a smooth and creamy palate, with a little bite in the aftertaste from the hops. It’s odd that this beer seems to be malty, then bitter, instead of both simultaneously. A very good beer, definitely worth trying if you’re a fan of German styles. Prost!

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured from a 11.2oz swing-top bottle, and served in a shaker. This beer poured a dark amber color with a foamy, light off-white head that slowly dissolved. A small amount of lace was left behind. The aroma of the beer was made up of sweet malts, grassy/floral hop notes, and also a bit of apple and dark fruits. The flavor included dark fruits, caramel malt, and just a touch of grassy hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and slightly dry with a good dose of carbonation. This was not nearly as interesting as I was hoping that it would be. The flavor was actually a bit bland, but it was still enjoyable.

Strong floral aroma upon opening the bottle. Floral taste follows through into a hoppy astrigent flavor. Deep rich amber color with thin white lacing on the glass.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small but lasting light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt, and floral hops. Taste is sweet caramel and a well balanced dose of hops. Medium mouthfeel. Very good.
