DocLock (4083), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 20, 2005 Thanks to Buck Dich for this. Alts tend to be "middle-of-the-road", but this one has pizzazz. Pours deep copper with medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, toffee, cognac, slight brown sugar. Tastes malty, with caramel, toffee, slight honey and brown sugar, and some finishing hops. Extremely smooth palate. Fabulous. A top notch altbier.
dpjuart (549), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 19, 2008 22 oz. bomber, 8/11/08 - Pour light red with orange/amber hues. Foamy white head. Good carb. Smells of apple and slight caramel. Taste is much the same, apple and caramel with mild hop bitter and crispness at the end. Maybe a touch of chocolate in there. Nothing special, but not bad. anders37 (2563), Malmö, Sweden Aug 13, 2008 Bottle. Pour a clear amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweetish malty caramel flavor. Fruity malty caramel finish. jthg (27), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 11, 2008 The beer welcomes you with a yeasty and slightly fruity aroma. Very appealing. And, then you taste it. I could easily pound a couple on a hot day - very smooth and refreshing. This isn’t a beer to be savored. It is a beer to be drank.
Just a readers note. This is NOT a american amber. It is an alt beer. Don’t expect sort of body/malt/hop notes to this beer. NoiZe (875), Zeist, Netherlands Aug 11, 2008 Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Amber colored. Sweet malty aroma. Malty, hoppy and sweetness. Kinda nice. doubleo (720), San Diego, California, USA Aug 10, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours clearish amber with a very thin, fizzy white head. Smells crisp malty, caramelly sweet. Tastes crisp, sweet malty with some caramel and slight earth notes. Medium body, crisp carbonation.
