Commercial Description:
This full bodied amber ale is modeled after the "altbiers" of Dusseldorf, Germany. Our top fermenting yeast and cold finishing temperature result in a complex, yet clean, full flavor.

Not a huge fan of ales in general but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Good hop aromas which follow through to the initial taste. Some malty flavouring kicks in and finish well together.

Bottle brought back by a traveling neighbor. This beer pours a clear amber-orange color with a thin and foamy light beige head. Thin sheets of lacing. Light roasted malt and fruit aroma. Light, smooth body with sweet caramel and malt flavors and just a touch of bitterness. The finish is sweet and the malty flavor does not linger long. Overall I would not have pegged this as an Alt at first blush, and knowing that is the target style causes it to lose a little favor with me. Still it is an easy to drink beer if nothing else.

12 oz bottle. Grain-mill smell, amber body that I feel as though I was supposed to pull hints of caramel and butterscotch from. Alas, it was very flat all the way through. No fireworks here, but not terrible.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber-red body with a half inch of off-white head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells malty initially but gives a fair bit of American hops in the aroma also. Tastes equal parts malt and an American hop bitterness - grassy, piney, with some citrus. Light to medium in body with ample carbonation and a semi-clean finish. Reminds me more of an American Amber than an altbier. Either way, a very tasty drinkable beer. I can see buying this one on a regular basis.

Solid beer! Always going to remind me of snowboarding trips up in Vermont. Mmmm Microbrews.

Sort of middle of the road. Amber brownish color, small head, not much lace. A bit of a hoppy sweet flavor but pretty much ho hum. I was a little disappointed but it’s not bad at all. There are others in the same category and pricepoint I’d rather have.
