| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 24, 2009 Yeasty aroma, sort of like bread with an amber color that gives a cream colored head. Pleasant taste, though hard for me to pin down. Light drinkable body that finishes cleanly with a slight hint of cherry. Bonster (113), Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Bottle from BOM club. Pours a copper- brown with a thin head that quickly dissipates. Subtle aroma of malt and some dark fruits. Flavor is mostly cherry and biscuit malt followed by the faint spice of hops. Quite crisp, light to medium bodied yet a bit creamy. Very drinkable and enjoyable overall. Smooth and well balanced. I wish this one wasn’t a limited release, go for it guys! bsp77 (202), Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Poured from bottle into Summit Pint glass.
Clear brownish-copper with very thin head.
Aroma of cherry, plum, biscuit, citrus and spice. Smells good but definitely subdued.
Just slightly sweet cherry and biscuit malts countered by a spicy noble hop bitterness.
Relatively low carbonation for a German brew. Smooth and clean but a little watery. Finishes somewhat dry.
Fairly mild and pleasing Altbier, although not as complex as some others.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Beer of the month. Had a nice copper body with a white head that had some retention. Aroma had a nice malt note to it. Some sweet notes and some almost biscuity notes. Flavor was similar but did have a delicate hope bite at the end. A little thin on the palate, but carbonation was minimal. A nice session ale, but not out of this world. fakepurseninja (791), Washington, USA
