Draft at the brewery restaurant pub in Portland. Amber color with a medium white head. Hoppy with malt overtones. Floral hints in the background. Nice balance. Good brew.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This was good, nothing special but really tasty. Amber coloring with a foamy white head. Floral hop aroma, with some nice sinewy malty richness, and sweetness. Nice clean and dry finish.

(Draught, Widmer Gasthaus) Pours a mahogany body with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, florals, and grass. Flavor of hops and some roastiness with a clean, dry finish.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nothing special, but felt hearty and full bodied. The flavor was not complex, but was definitely drinkable. Tasted a lot of malt, fairly sweet. Probably wouldn’t buy again.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap. Nothing great, but nothing horrible. Sweet, and a little bit charcoal at the end. Nice coloring, but not their best offering.

on tap at widmer. a really poor alt, no real flavour other than some crystal malt sweetness and lemonade finish

UPDATED: JUL 23, 2006 The flavor sets up with some fresh oats, bread, roasted corn, some ham even... with a little touch of smoke as well. A good festive tasting beer, reminds me of cold weather and leaves turning colors. Mild nose, a little nutty.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Tap@Widmer. Sweet, thin and grainy, light grassyness and fizz, crisp and bland.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark orange. Very, very sweet (a trend in Portland "alt" beers). But this has a nice caramelly base that wins out and perhaps a glimmer of smoke to boot.
