Aug 17, 2006 Copper body with a lasting, cottony white head. Aroma of tea-like malts, fresh toasted bread crusts, and mild earthy hops. Semi-dry, malty flavor with wood stem characters and nice assertive bitterness. Medium-body, with lightly palatable residual carbs. Decent American altbier.

Aug 17, 2006 Medium dark brown with red tinge and foamy camel head. Nice aley aroma - yeasty, slightly sour. Initial acidic hop sting over a medium light sweet beer. Excellent food compliment - having this one with chorizo won ton at Mad Mex Columbus. Lasting, hoppy finish. Very fine with fruity undertones.

Aug 7, 2006 Draft at HDG. Brown with a small head. Aroma is mostly fresh milled grains. Taste is sweet caramel with some toffe and dry, mellow hops. A bit on the sweet side but that works for me for an alt.

Aug 4, 2006 REVIEW #500. On tap at Mahars. Poured a very nice reddish brown with a small head. Aroma was nicely hopped with some sweetness. Flavor had a great bitter bite, but very smooth included a sweet sugary aftertaste, very good.

Aug 3, 2006 Updated: Jun 1, 2007Rerate 6/1/2007: Aroma was pretty dull but there was a nice balance between euro hops and biscuity malts in the flavor. Went down super easy for 8% and was very refreshing for the style, and not at all syrupy like an Uerige Sticke Alt (also around 8%).
8/3/2006: On tap at Hop Devil Grill. Strong on the german hops, pretty wild tasting, coming off mostly as a German IPA. There was an underlying caramel maltiness too tame the bitterness. Pretty unexciting. 6/4/6/3/14/3.3

Aug 1, 2006 On tap @ Mellow Mushroom. Clear amber color with white head. Aroma is both sweet malt and some earthy-grassy hops. Wow, an alt beer with substantial hop character. Pretty good. The little bit of sweeter hop flavors and caramel malts are over shadowed by the pure hop bitterness. Seems like an Alt ESB. I like it.

Jul 30, 2006 Draft at Cock and Bull, Sarasota, FL. Brown with a frothy tan head. Floral and fruity hops and light caramel bicuit malt. Hoppy brown beer, not an alt. Medium, balanced body. Easy drinking.

Jul 24, 2006 Draft at Coles. Pours a deep hazy copper deep red with an ok head and some lace. Aroma is a bit yeasty and dirty and not as clean and hoppy as some great alts. Has a sweet caramel aroma though. Flavor is a bit sweet, has a typical rogue character to it, sugary, raisin, caramel malts, and a decent hoppy finish. Ok overall, but could have been cleaner, or lagered longer or fermented cooler. Not great especially compared to Uerige.
