| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2005 33 cl bottle. A small fine head tops the clear light maple body...thyme and hazelnuts vie with maple for prominence in the lovely, subtle nose...dry bitter herbs hit the front of the tongue, acidic nuttines reaches forward later and just a touch (just enough) brown sugary sweetness takes the edge off the dry bitterness at the finish.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 15, 2005 Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy,
off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium to dark brown. Aroma is
moderately malty (toasted bread, caramel, roasted nuts), lightly hoppy
(herbs, flowers), lightly yeasty (dough), with notes of brown sugar,
raisin. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly
sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively
carbonation. Quite as-expected (i.e., like the regular Uerige alt, just
slightly bigger and richer). Hints at elements of doppelbocks and
Belgian brown ales. The higher malt content helps the finishing balance
compared to the standard alt. Very tasty, but falls short of exciting. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Pours a hazy light orange brown color with huge froathy billowing offwhite head. Aroma is earthy woodsy hops. Flavor is malty slightly bittersweet, earthy oaky hops, some doughiness, decently dry and hoppy bitter finish. Overall, complex yet simple beer, definitely worth a try.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2004 Might be a case where the anticipation drowned out the the flavor. Defintiely thinner than I antcipated, with a metallic hop presence that I found a little off-putting. Still, I really enjoyed the way it sat in the mouth. This was overall a very interesting beer, but will never be favorite. argo0 (6978), Washington DC, USA

Aroma is light sweet, caramel, light grassy/herbal. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some fruity, some alcohol evident, finishing herbal/earthy. Medium body. Very drinkable.
