Bottle. An altbier? this was somewhere in the realms of the Alaskan Amber. i.e, a pile of crap. Smelt quite nutty, but there was an overwhelming smell of pee. Stale nutty caramel flavours, really dissapointing.

Light amber appearance with barely any head. A decently strong hoppy aroma with some caramel. The flavor was actually really good. I’m not really sure what an Altbier quite is but I really liked it.

Very malty, slight bite. A well balanced composition. Very smooth. My draft had little to no head. Would have made for a little better feel.

Poured nearly flat, surprisingly though a little stringy lace hanging around. Clear copper/amber color. Malty, biscuity nose. Medium body. Dry malty flavors, toasty with a crisp dry finish.

Copper/red color, of course. Nice head. Hop flavor and bitterness are pleasing, but not overwhelming. A drinkable beer.

Semi-transparent copper/orange color ale with a thick, foamy, white head. Smells very enticing. Reminds me of sweet oranges (as opposed to the sour ones). Citrusy hop flavor. More floral in the finish but also a little metallic. Not an overwhelming amount of malts. Easy to drink session beer from the state that brews more session beers than anyone else.

Batch #1501, bottled 3/01/2004. Well, this will probably knock you out, but this is copper-colored. Thin white head. For the first 30 seconds after pouring there was a huge floral aroma but it subsided into just mildly sweet and flowery. Fairly sweet and malty taste with mild hop bitterness at the end. Yet again for OC, this is drinkable but not super.

Copper body, small off-white head, floral, fruity nose. Somewhat floral character with hints of light fruit and some malt; medium bitter finish.
