Brewed by Tyranena Brewing
Style: Altbier
Lake Mills, Wisconsin USA

Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, grain, and a hint of roast. Flavor is caramel, grain, a touch of roast, and a bitter spicy hop finish.

A tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. Thin almost non existent head. Beautiful color. Nice blend of Carmel and malt. Very slightly sweet.

pours a dark copper with a one finger bubbly light tan head. aroma is caramel malt and a touch of hops. has a light to medium body with ok lacing and great carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but more on the toasted side for the malt. there is also a little more pine hops and is stronger than the aroma. has a nice dry hop aftertaste and as it warms the aroma and flavor get a little maple syrup to it. not bad.

Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Pours the expected amber hue with a fading small frothy head and left spotty lace upon the glassware. The aroma has notes of caramel and toasted malts, buttered biscuit, herbal hops, crabapple and star fruit esters, and a hint of mineral water. The taste is mild sweet grains with some fruit and herbal bitterness in support. A touch nutty as well. The mouth feel is lively and refreshing with a well attenuated dry finish. Not too shabby at all, a quick drinker.

Bottle pours a crystal clear ruby color with no head, but a nice surface haze. The aroma is caramel malt and floral . The flavor is honey, caramel, malt three ways, and some faint hops. There is a lingering cereal note that does not detract from the overall. Actually this is pretty decent. The palate is like a mix of medium bodied and water - kind of different. I still get a lingering cereal note. Overall, not my favorite, but not offensive.

Copper color pour with a very thin head. Aroma is strong on caramel malts with a fairly heavy dose of honey...sweet and pleasant. Flavor is dominated by malts, but some hops hit up front to give it some balance. Honey accents play a big role in the flavor and almost dominates at times. Finish is a bit watery, with some lasting bitterness, though it is not hard-hitting or offensive. Decent altbier, but nothing amazing.

12oz bottle(4/04)-An orangish amber body with a nice two finger head which emits an aroma of malt, hops, caramel, and honey. Taste of the same with some toffee and more hops coming through. Not a fan of alts but a nice tasting one.

On tap brewery. Pours a clear light gold. Head is thick, good lacing. Aroma is malts and hops with caramel and a bit o’ honey. Taste is malts and some sweet from the caramel. Finishes with a wet hop that stays in the palate. Heavier body but more towards a medium feel. Good brew.
