Shared 22 oz. bottle. Pale amber, hazy, with an off-white head. Aroma is malty and bready. Taste is malt, caramel, bread, earth. Finish is mildly bitter. Okay.

Got in a BIF from ZebraCakez. 22 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, bottled in 11/2014. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of toast, biscuit, nuttiness, light caramel, light pear/apple, herbal, floral, grass, light pine, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of bready malt, earthy hops, and light-moderate yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of toast, biscuit, nuttiness, light caramel, light pear/apple, herbal, floral, grass, light pine, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Light amount herbal/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of toast, biscuit, nuttiness, light caramel, floral, grass, light pine, light pear/apple, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of bready malt, earthy hops, and light yeast ester flavors; with a good bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very good altbier style. All around good robustness and balance of bready malt, earthy hops, and light yeast ester flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. This is hoppy for an altbier, but the flavors were very much what I expected for the style. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Cloudy amber color, off white head. Aroma of light fruit, cookie dough. Taste has caramel, fruit.

Bottle. Pours amber orange with white head. Nose and taste of dried grain, stale citrus and roasted barley. Medium body.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a clear copper color with a thin creamy head. Fair head retention. Aroma of caramel malts and herbal hops. The taste is fruity with herbal hops and pale malts. Medium bodied.

Bomber from Half Time. Pours copper with a slight bubbly/foamy white head. Aroma is light roast malt with chocolate notes. Med body. Almost. Flavor is light roast malt with that ongoing chocolate thing. Sort of a pale ale trying to be a brown ale. It works pretty well and the dry hopping seems to be keeping it bitter. Not a standout, but a pretty good beer.

Bottle. Caramel malt and herbal hops aroma. Amber color with small head. Mildly sweet caramel malt and moderately bitter flavor. Not bad - maltier than the average APA.
