Boscos Germantown Alt

Draft at Nashville location. White small head with short retention, hazy body, very little carbonation, spotty amounts of lacing, and an orange-brown hue. The aroma was simple--malt and hops. The flavor was malt, hops, some caramel, and finished dry. A smooth mouthfeel and a light-medium bodied beer. Easy to drink, but very basic, low-key for the style. Easily forgettable.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy uncarbonated dark orange brown colored body. The mild aroma was malty and bready. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops breads and mild caramel. An OK brew just nothing special.

Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, roast, toast, crystal malts, and floral slightly citrus hop finish. Flavor is roast, some toast, caramel, and a bitter earthy finish.

True to its form, nice malt, impressive appearance. Smooth & well balanced

On tap at the brewpub. Dark orange-brown with some off white head. Aroma is burnt caramel. Taste is burnt caramel, some cocoa, and a bittering finish.
