Oct 9, 2008 Reddish-copper with a short lived white swirl for a head. Aroma is syrupy malt, very sweet. There’s a little hop bite in the flavor, though it’s mainly sweet, grainy malt again. A little over carbonated while watery, it’s still tolerable. Nothing special, but it’s drinkable.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottled as Southampton Altbier, thanks LilBeerDoctor! Pours clear coppery amber with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of toffee, fruit, malt. Light body and full carbonation. Sweet nutty and figgy flavor with a bit of brown sugar. A somewhat floral finish (and possibly some rye) eventually catch up with the rest of that palate. Seems fairly well balanced, but some part of the equation doesn’t work so well for me. Maybe needs more body, less carbonation?

Oct 5, 2008 On tap at KSBF ’08 as Southampton Alt. Dark copper body with a small off-white head. Earthy, nutty with noticeable hops. Pretty good.

Sep 24, 2008 Pours a beige head and leaves lacing. Reddish brown clear body. Malty aroma. Like the guy before me, I wondered if the beer was fresh. Kind of sour taste. Very light hops in the middle. Kind of sweet aftertaste. Some fruitiness, but nothing distinct.

Sep 22, 2008 The freshness factor on this is highly questionable. Orange to copper pour with a medium off white head. Sweet malts on the nose and as well the dominate the flavor. Thin bodied and very bland.

Aug 31, 2008 Dusseldorf style Ale, and a very nice one at that. Dark amber/brown pour with a lasting 1/2" thick head and strands of creamy lacing. Great malt nose with a hearty sweetness of nuts and roasted grain. Complimenting aromas of caramel and dark fruits add to the fine scent. Medium malt body with a pleasant sharpness and smooth finish. Toffee, baked bread, and caramel start off a good flavor, and are backed up by some mildly bitter hops and a faint fruitiness. I tasted some light smokiness that really added some depth. Very drinkable, this is a great beer to relax with.

Aug 31, 2008 12oz bottle. Coppery brown color. Sweet malt dominates the flavor, with a nice faint hop balance. Creamy and rich, not unlike a good brown ale, but with a crisper taste. A great session beer, could fit right in on the Altstadt.
