Aug 24, 2008 Very nice clean yeasty aroma turns slightly fruity and perfumy in the glass. Slightly darker than the ubiquitous pale lager but just as clear. Meollow flavor that wants to come on strong but does not. Godd tingly carbonation and its welcomed. After the session continues, there is a medium light building hops falvor. Nice enjoyable hint of fruit in there too. Has some hop presence without being offensive nor over the top. Very enjoyable beer, glad I got to try this. Finish is nice and friendly, hides alky well. Surprizingly pleasing.

Aug 22, 2008 A nice altbier, though I would call this an amber ale in a blind taste test. I started with this brewer’s Double Bag ale and this is like the light version. Less flavor, less aroma. Same appearance, but more enjoyable. Less malty and more carbonated with a nice hoppy aftertaste. Not great, but very drinkable.

Jul 29, 2008 Had in bottle and on tap. A dark amber pour with a nice head. Smells a little fruity at first, tastes a little as well. Also tastes hoppy/malty but drinks well. Will drink again.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin but persistent white head. Aroma is breadcrust, a bit fruity; alt yeast comes through a bit. Taste is toasty, breadcrust malt at the front, a bit of fruit emerging just after, and then a nice dose of grassy hops on the finish. Understated lingering bitterness remains. Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied, with a creamy carbonation. Decent, drinkable, and a little different.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle- Deep transparent copper pours an eggshell one finger head. Nose of caramel and bread crust, spicy, floral hops and rye. Tastes of bitter hops and subtle caramel malts. Spicy notes lead to a slight fruity component. This is a very well balanced, easy drinking beer. One that I would purchase regularly if it were available to me locally.
