Mar 9, 2005 Dark amber, cloudy. Flowery pnw hop aroma. Hint of sticky malt. Sticky, resiny hops - not too bitter, though, with caramel sweetness. Fresh, off-dry character. Definitely not an alt but a nice beer.

Mar 8, 2005 After Oakes explained to me what a Alt beer is I quickly realized that I was drinking the bitter. Anyways, amber colour with a light head. Aroma is lots of malts with a hop kick. Flavour has some nice darker malts and sweet body with some hops. Clean and well balanced.

Nov 20, 2004 on tap at lucky labrador. one of the better american attempts at making an alt. surprising chocolate crackle and lychee aroma. decent semi-dry finish. i would struggle to pick this as an alt in a blind tasting but i liked it anyway

Aug 22, 2004 Bright orange with a creamy head and nice lace. Moderate carbonation; nice and creamy texture. Malts were lightish but tasty, sweet and clean. Aroma was pleasant, with notes of flowers and herbs, and a little citrus. More like an IPA than an alt, but it still tasted good.

Aug 10, 2004 Orange, light orange and bread nose... soft palate, very smooth, with a soft creamy flavor, very light. A good roughness that lasts long into the finish with some mildly roasted bread and grain flavors.

Jul 30, 2004 Medium gold color. Aroma is fruity and hoppy. A medium bodied alt. Malts are nutty and fruity. Hops are grapefruity and piney. A touch sweet, but a nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jul 24, 2004 (RBSG04) Clear, light copper body with beige head. Aroma is meidum sweet, grapefruit, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some pine, caramel. Medium body with resin. I like, but this beer is certainly not to style with the 3Cs of hops.
