Commercial Description:
Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored "alt" style beer notably well-balanced.

Bottled. An amber beer - no wonder, with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish. A bit boring.

Bottled. Amber colour, small off-shite head. Aroma is hops, caramel, salt, malts and slight barnyardish hints. Flavour is flowery hops, salt water and grass. Quite full with stuff, but still a boring brew.
