Draught - The beer had a nice copper hue with a slightly malty, hoppy aroma. Taste was crisp with a sweetness coming from the beer. Tasted great, but it wasn't a typical alt Beer.

Mar 2, 2005 Aroma and flavor are both an nice blend of banana, caramel, and raisin. Creamy palate.

May 28, 2004 Slightly hazed amber with a snall white head. Sweet aroma, sugary and fruity with an interesting hop component. The flavor is also very sweet, a bit atypical for thestyle but I still enjoed it. Medium-full body with a fruity/sweet aftertaste.

May 3, 2004 Woops! What happened? Not a drain pour - or is it? Would say that something went way wrong here. Aaron suspected candy sugar, and I have to agree that it seemed present. With the ALT in the title I was expecting a certain tannic quality to be there somewhere or at least not be saturated with the type of swetness that did nothing to bring malt to mind. Didn’t taste infected, but perhaps an infection of another sort. What was being attempted here?

May 1, 2004 Hazy amber with small off-white head. Aroma is sweet, candy sugar, caramel. Taste is very sweet, candy sugar, some caramel, lightly astringent. Sticky medium body with moderately high carbonation. I found this way too sweet, and in may ways it seemed like Belgium invading Germany -- not an alt like I’ve ever tasted.

Apr 7, 2004 Murky, orange appearance with a small head. Fruity, sweet malt aroma that carried over to the taste. Well-hopped flavor added to the crispness and prevented this altbier from becoming too cloying. Clean finish.
