Sep 30, 2009 Deep orange pour with a small off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, with a little spice and fruit. Taste is smooth and not as sweet as I thought it would be. The hops come through a little. Very drinkable.

Sep 26, 2009 Wow, right on target with the rating! One of my firsts for an Altbier, the Double Bag earns a good score with a solid aroma and dark brown appearance that creates a nice malty taste. A thin body brings it down a bit, but I’m not sure if that is just vindicative of the style. A good beer.

Sep 11, 2009 12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Clear amber body with a quarter inch of lasting head. The smell is much like that of a good Oktoberfest:rich and malty with a kick of noble hops, I am also detecting a hint of cinnamon in there somewhere as well. The flavor is malty yet somehow very dry. Nutty with hints of cherry and spice and a bitterness that reaches all the way down the esophagus. Interesting.

Sep 6, 2009 Pours light amber with a thin off-white head, a good bit of which remains throughout the drinking. The aroma is of ripe fruit and tinny hops. A grassy, hoppy flavor with a lingering bitterness - not bad balance. Goes down smooth with well-masked alcohol. Nothing special about this beer, but I found it pleasant enough.

Nice creamy aroma with toffee and gentle noble hops and dried apricot and lychee notes. Clear orange-amber under white wisps. Not an Altbier, this beer is sort of like a strong lager, but with plenty of ale esters--banana, green apple. The hops and grain bill combine to make this beer kind of peppery spicy and there are some nut and dried fruit notes. A touch alcoholic, though. Medium body, moderate to medium bitterness, slightly bitter nutty finish, moderate to medium carbonation.

Aug 20, 2009 bottle. Poured a brown color with a medium off white head. Aroma of sweet candy and some mild hops. The taste is somewhat dissappointing. Not very balanced. Quite thin on the palate. Ehh
