Tasted on tap at brewery. This alt pours a medium to dark amber color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is roasty malt, caramel and sweet. A medium bodied alt. Malts are caramel, bready and sweet with a touch of smoke. Hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Touch of hop bitterness behind the mellow malts. Crisp dry finish. This beer went well with my Ahi Tuna Steak. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Smoke and cereal in the aroma, nice reddish copper appearamce. lighter bodied than I expected, withat na earthy, crisp, and pronounced hop finish. Not what I was expecting when I ordered an "Alt", but an enjoyeable beer, nonetheless.

Amber colour with a thin white head. Light aroma of english hops with a decent balance of malt. Medium to Light-bodied; The taste shows a bit of sweetness with some english hops and a balance of malt. Aftertaste shows some decent malt characteristics, but fairly subtle. Overall a decent beer, not an true 'alt' though! I had this on draught at the brewpub in Knoxville, Tennessee on 27-September-2003.

This amber beer doesn’t have a lot of character. there are no off-flavors or aroma, but there isn’t much in the way of on flavors either. Just kind of bland.
