Feb 15, 2004 A dark brown beer with a red shine and a chocolate brown head though fast disappearing. The aroma is sweet, yeasty, malty and slightly sour. The flavor is sweet, caramel, and malty. It ends on a nice bitter note combined with hoppyness. A very nice flavor.

Feb 10, 2004 Alt is one of my favorite styles, so I'm pretty critical in this category. This passes my tests, but it's missing that smoked wood undertone that I note in other genuine German alts like Konigsbacher. This is a bit sweeter and a little lighter in feel than Konigsbacher, but it's nevertheless malty enough to hold my interest. Quite smooth with a dry finish. A great everyday beer.

Feb 9, 2004 Draught @ Gustav's in Vancouver, WA
Dark brown, tawny color. A touch of tan colored lacing and a nice sized (initially) head. Aroma has a touch of caramel & molasses, some roastyness and some light hops come through as well. The flavor is very dry and astringent but sweet with a well balanced finish. Overall this is a spot on german alt with some solid flavors but a detracting finish.

Jan 17, 2004 Very light. Not a whole lot here. Should be a decent summer beer. Wish I could say more but this is not very complex.

Jan 7, 2004 Pours deep chocolate brown. Golden caramel color when held up to a light. Nice thick head, good strong lace. Aroma is like that of a bakery, slightly moldy bread and a succinct of sweetness. Chocolate malt comes to mind on first sip, with a quick follow of hoppiness. Very well balanced. Easy to drink, the more I consume this as I write, the more I am enjoying this German "old" style beer. The finish is creamy; not cloying. It begs for another sip. I recommend this to anyone as a quintessential Alt Bier.

Dec 13, 2003 Clear brown hue with frothy off-white head and good lace. The aroma hints of toasted malt, wood, earthy yeast, nuts, and european aromatic hops. The taste has a grassy and citric nature with mild sweet nut background. An acidic and herbal finish. Medium-bodied and lively mouthfeel, dry finish. Solid brew and very much within the style. Enjoyable and recommended for someone seeking out something from this genre.
