Oct 21, 2008 Hazy golden orange brown color with a finger of off white head. Nutty, fruity, yeasty breadiness and malt. Body is heavy malts, more plums and almond nuttiness. Then a slight bitter finish.

Mar 28, 2004 Bottled: Delightful, through and through.The aroma is soft chewy caramel and flowery hops, grassy. Yes, burnt plastic, slightly sweet maltiness abounds in the flavors (it's a hellofafine burnt plastic, this) - did someone say some peach?, yes, I concur. But the melding, the balance of the grassiness with the slightly acrid sweetish malt, is what astounds here. The only flaw is the slight alcoholic thinning at the full warm level. Shows how good Blimp City's version really was (Arbor Brewing #22 and McNeill's are off style comparitively, but in the case of the latter much fuller bodied and in the former too carbonated) - Damn, I love a hoppy alt (this is 65 IBUs, I think?) - I'm in love with this thing.

Apr 24, 2006 Updated: May 2, 2007Pours a cloudy brown into a farmhouse water glass. No head whatsoever -- and no evidence of carbonation. Malt aromas - dates, plums, dough. Flat, sticky and figgy with a long lasting bitter malt finish.

Dec 20, 2004 Amber body with off-white head. Caramel, hops, some anise in the nose. Medium bodied with nice carbonation. Flavor was moderately sweet and pleasant. Probably one of the better alts I’ve had.

Jul 1, 2005 Bottled on 31.01. Am I to assume that is 2005? Poured into my Fankenheim Alt glass. Crystal clear copper/brown with a dirty white cap. Toasted whole grain breads and caramel. Nice scent of Spalt hops. Malt sweetness and hop bitterness it very good. Full bodied.

Feb 11, 2005 Bottle. Brown in color, not much head formation at all and minimal lacing left behind. Aroma is raisinish, perhaps a little molasses. Body seems a bit light, soft carbonation. Decent malt and nice hops in the finish. A bit sour. I am not that impressed with this, perhaps an oxidized bottle
