Jun 10, 2009 Clear amber, no head (maybe too cold) mild aroma of slightly sweet lightly roasted malt. average mouthfeel. Crisp bite of faint citrus. Hops shpw their face quickly - a little herbal, then a long finish of lightly roasted malt with a little amber. Not too complex, but good for a session.

May 28, 2009 Clear copper amber pour. Corny and sweet grain and a little grassy especially in flavor. Medium chewy palate with a citrus bite in the finish. Not something I would seek out

May 21, 2009 Pours with a slight fine particulate haze, amber in color and a fizzy white head. Aroma is caramel and toast, some citrus zest. Very toasty taste, pretty good body. Good clean finish.

May 14, 2009 I have no idea how I end up getting a beer with only 5 ratings in the Beer of the Month club, but sure enough... BBC Amber Ale, German Style Altbier. And it’s pretty tasty too. Not great, but you almost never get great beer in this club. Quite good.

May 10, 2009 Bought a half barrel because the distributor was out of my regular. It helped that this was only $83 a half barrel (was this a closeout price?) . It was a bit cloudy which worried me (some beers are supposed to be cloudy, but it can indicate spoilage). It had the bite that I want in an ale though it could have more hops for my taste. The taste is sufficiently rich, and the aftertaste is good. It is a far better beer than American commercial beers (duh). IF this price is normal, I will definitely purchase another 1/2 barrel. I would not if over $120.

Apr 28, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Vintage Cellar. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Nutty and grainy aroma with a light tart note. Taste is pretty much the same with a bit of caramel and leafy hops as well. Thin bodied.

Apr 12, 2009 Clear amber pour, low head, no lace. Sour corny aroma. Corny metallic taste, nicely carbed though. A little bit of nutty flavor. Pretty gross all the way around. Yuck.
