Jun 18, 2004 Bottle. Cool looking bottle. Really thin neck with a swing top cap. Well, i always thought it was perhaps going to be a little bit stale. Motelpogo said to me that alts are always better from the source, and i will take his word for it. Even though this was a little stale, there was still alot to be pleased about. Soft toffee malts. Grassy, herbal hops in the finish, nice, soft, dry palate. Very nice, if a little stale.

Apr 9, 2006 Excellent packaging, nice dark semieffervescent liquid in the glass, looks good, brown turbinado sugar in the nose, touch of toffee, sweet carmels on the tongue balanced something tart and cidery. Interesting. It’s not real lively or hoppy or smokey but still plain, obvious and curious.

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.

Dec 9, 2008 Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a hazy, dark, orange-amber color. A foamy, off-white head settles slowly, sticky bands of lacing remaining behind to coat the glass. Aromas include caramel, dried fig, raisin, and hints of strawberry and red apple. A decent helping of floral, earthy hops is there, lending balance to the nose. Flavors show more of the same, floral hops turning peppery and spicy, lending further bitterness and depth to the caramel and dried fruit notes. There might be a hint of candied nuts within, as well. The mouthfeel is substantial and moderately carbonated, finishing kind of dry and yeasty. This is a very nice Alt.

May 10, 2009 11.2 oz flip top bottle. Poured into a kolsch glass (which may be sacrilege), got a big slightly off white head which receded quickly with some lacing. The color is a murky brown, and this beer is really easy to gulp down quickly. A nice bready malt taste with a little hoppiness and drying finish.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle shared by the_Captain. ver complex aroma of brown sugar, malt, dark fruit and b yeast. Didn’t really taste like it smelled but got better as it got warmer. Nice hazy brown color with an off white creamy head. tasted like brown sugar and grass or earthy notes. My only complaint was that it was very very dry. Kind of reminded me of an English bitter but very dry finish. Good brew though.

Aug 19, 2009 bottled 10/08, rated 08/09. swingtop to shaker pint. aroma is dark almost smoky caramel. very nice head sits atop very cloudy amber, nearly brown, beer. flavor is of yeast and malty caramel, but without displaying much sweetness. a bit grainy in the finish. in the war of kolschs against alts, im an alt-man all the way, and this beer is one example.
