Mar 17, 2008 Tried this on tap at The Buckeye beerengine and found it to be a very enjoyable alt. It poured a perfect copper color - the taste was right on, the ibu’s seemed right for the style and it had a good carbonation level, definitely a good rendition of a not too common ale style.

Oct 21, 2009 light brown with moderate white head. nice crisp nobel hop nose. flavor of moderate, but sharp bitterness followed by some mild munich and some toasty malt flavors before a very pleasant floral noble hop flavor before a nice dry finish. a very well made alt, with prominent but balanced bitterness. with the paltry ratings that this beer has received, i wonder if people really understand the alt-style, i imagine not

May 27, 2008 Draft @ Buckeye Beer Engine: Pours a dark amber-orange. Aroma is faint sweet caramel malts, some cereal grains. Flavor is medium-bodied with toasted caramel malts. Not too complex, but refreshingly drinkable.

Mar 13, 2003 Here's an alt that leans over towards the hoppier side. Medium bodied malts - slightly sweet and caramel on the sides of the tongue. The hops are strong, warm and lingering - if you want a traditional alt, this may not satisfy you. Me, I was pleasantly surprised, even though this can't replace my beloved Blimp City Alt.

Jul 25, 2008 Lakewood, Oh. - on tap at the Beer Engine. Dark copper pour, thickish khaki colored head with nice trailing lacing. Fresh lake water aroma, hint of mint. Flavor is nutty with some toffee notes and a minty finish. Clean, even mouthfeel. Good lunch companion.

Apr 9, 2008 One-year Anniversary Altbier poured into a commemorative little glass. Pours a golden copper with a tight white head. Mild aromas of sweet maltiness. Agreeable flavors of bready malt, a touch of nuttiness, and some sweet caramel. Ample bitterness in the finish. Very drinkable.

Sep 22, 2008 Enjoyed at the brewpub. Reddish colour with lace. Tastes like a competent altbier. Yeast kicks in the finish.

May 14, 2008 In short: Very tasty and hoppy/bitter blonde ale of some kind
How: Tap at brewpub. Called Anniversary Alt on the brewpub menu, I’m assuming this is the same beer.
The look: Clear dark blonde body with almost no head
In long: Smooth doughy body with honey and floral leafy hops. Some toasted bread. Limited caramel presence and even less fruity notes presence. Strong leafy hops presence and nice flavourful “green” bitterness. Very clean, very drinkable, this is an acceptable session beer. However as an Altbier it is about as true to the style as circus clown in a grey three-piece-suit.
