Aug 26, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark copper under a fluffy off-white head that had decent retention and left some thin intricate lacing. Aroma is fruity and malty with hints of smoke, hops, and toast. Flavor is fruity as well with a nice crisp hop finish that lingered quite a while. Quite refreshing, but a slight hint of oxidation creeping in on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy in texture with a nice soft active carbonation level. Overall, a pretty nice effort, but it’s a shame Altbiers don’t seem to hold up very well.

Jul 26, 2006 Pours a lightly hazy golden brown. Dense and creamy ivory head. Fizzy. Sheeting lace. Smells of caramel malt. Biscuity. A sugary/molasses-like sweetness. Some faint herbal hops.
Tastes of caramel malt, lots of herbal hops in the finish. Bready and grainy. Fruity malt. Surprisingly crisp and a lingering hoppiness. Damn nice and an easy drinker. Go get it.

Jul 15, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Deep bubbly clear ruby-red with a small off-white head. Light caramel roast malt aroma, fairly sweet, some yeast, fruit and slightly burnt notes - nice, simple. Taste is a little harsh, a bit of metal, the malt seems diminished beyond recognition, just lingering peppery yeast and faint burnt fruit. Decent body, nice and lively, longish burnt linger - pretty nice, a little thin.
