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.

Quickly disspating head, deep copper color. Nice malt, very slight bitterness. Really nothing great, but it is fairly balanced and the carbination level is good, but the head went down so fast...

This orange beer poured with a decent beige head and a bread aroma. The malt flavor is too thin, even for an altbier, but it is thicker on the palate. Perhaps an ok session beer.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus, obtained through my west coast connection. Pours deep amber with an eggshell colored head. Aroma of sweetness and caramel. The flavor is much the same with carbonation sneaking in there as well as its watery body.

Draft and bottle, several occasions. Clear darkish copper with a three-finger head that lasts well. Malty, spicy molasses aroma. Flavor is deliciously spiced caramel, turning to baked biscuit, then the slight hop comes on to dry to a toasty cocoa and nutty finish. Medium body is smooth and sessionable.

Bottle sampled with beerded_one through his west coast connection. Pours orange\brown with a decent sized off white head. Aroma of caramel malts, citrus, and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, caramel, brown sugar, citrus,goes down thin, but a good brew.

22oz bottle, A081908--not sure if this is the bottled on or best by date, purchased from Bottle Barn earlier today. Clear copper amber with a one finger yellowish white head, fair retention. Aroma of fruity, caramel, and toasted malts up front with some metallic notes. Flavor is the same with some light noble hops keeping things from getting too sweet. Bitterness peaks at a 3. Moderate carbonation with a light body. Not too bad--glad I got to finally try it.

Bottle (in NZ). Pours a copper colour with a thin white head. Caramal malt aroma, very slightly metallic. The palate is again slightly metallic. But the flavour is an interesting combination of grainy malt and peppery hop, with hints of fruit. The dry finish also has a short salty tang.
