From the tap it poured aclear amber body with an off-white head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is a fruity malt with a touch of caramel and a slight herbal bitterness. Medium-bodied, the fruits are clearly apple in flavor, the caramel becomes chewy, and some earthiness is added to balance it out. Quaffable.

Draft sampler at Indy. Poured clear medium amber with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Light malty citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a watery texture. Light sweet flavor with a light sour finish of moderate duration.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of finely sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was transparent softly carbonated and copper brown in color. It had a mild red malt aroma. The mouth feel was smooth and somewhat tingly with a red malt flavor that mellowed in the finish.

The more I drink Alcatraz, the more I think they don't give a rat's ass about beer. They are all boring, light and cheap. I want my 2 dollars.
