Light malt aroma, weak aroma but nothing bad just not much there. Amber pour with no lace or head to speak of. Not much flavor nor much body just a drinkable beer is about all I can say. Thin and watery. Not much a beer I would drink again but not special at all.

An amber color with a large fading head. The aroma is malty with some dark fruit and caramel. The flavor contains some bready characteristic with caramel and dark fruit. The palate is rather thin. Overall this was nothing special.

Bottle thanks to kyzr: Pours a transparent copper amber with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy caramel malts and a touch of noble hops and graininess. Body starts lightly sweet and mild with some earthy bittering hops and a drier, thinner effervescent finish. A pretty average Altbier.

kyzr, I thank you! A cold pour produces no head. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Lacing is good however and the color is a dark amber. Aromas of chocolatey malts. Full nectar with good carbonation. This one has a defined hop presence that sets the pace with a fat malt body closing in. Flavors of caramel and citrus rind. The finish is bittered well and has a lingering metalic nuance.

From the bottle pours dark mahogany with a small off-white head. Very earthy nutty flavor, light hops towards the finish. I was going to say, this is more alt then amber, but now I see others it is listed as an alt here.
