Oct 27, 2007 bottle, and killer bottle description below from GarretB. Had this bottle for a while, I think I bought it at High Times up near Irvine. Pours copper and gets orange towards the bottom. 2 finger tan head with nice lacing. Nose is sticky and sweet, with hints of molasses. Its sweet, but all too bitte and really really not my thing, not really tasty to me, and all in all alts are really not my thing. The bottle made me try it I guess.

Jul 15, 2006 No head. Light brownish red body with some haziness. Sweet powerfully floral malty aroma with cinnamon and caramel notes, slightly earthy. Sweet roasty licorice taste with some cinnamon. Very fruity. Intense cinnamon aftertaste. Incredibly delicate and well balanced. Not too powerful, but much better for it. Excellent! Really something special. (0.33l bottle.)

Jan 29, 2007 Clear amber pour with a thin offwhite head. Nice aroma of bread, fruits and spices. The flavor is very pleasant with it’s bread, spices and fruits, it finishes slightly tart and slightly bitter. The body is medium with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. Nicely done.

May 15, 2008 Listed at 6%. Pours with a small, off-white, rocky head covering a slightly murky brown body. Some lacing left over. Aroma has some raisins, dark fruits and sweet malts. Taste is odd, buttery corn, some DMS, smoked elements, rochefort notes, and completely lacks any sweetness whatsoever. Savory and some hints of oxidation. I am not sure how to treat this as it is only my second Alt, and I am not sure how true to the style the other one I had was. This is very drinkable, but no sweetness is very different after all the barely wines that I have been drinking recently.

Mar 30, 2004 I've been looking for a replacement for the awesome Blimp City Akron/Macon Ale since they went out of business, and I think I have found it! The beer is a dark brown/amber with an ultra thin off-white head. Very little lacing. The aroma is nice and full, with caramel, malt and sweet fruit. Medium-bodied and very drinkable with a pleasing blend of flavors such as malt, raisin, caramel and hops. The finish is the only place it falls off a little. There is a slight metallic tinge to the fruity finish that was out of character with the beer. A slightly bigger hops finish would make it nearly perfect. As it stands though, this is one of the better Alts I have had.
