On tap at Lucky Labrador, pours a hazy golden orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out moderate astringent hops above anything. Flavour is on the hoppy side for an alt, with dry bready malt and dry citrus hops. Pretty weak and uncomplex. Not very good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a deep copper color with a medium white head. A nice mellow fruity malt with some orange peel in the nose. The flavor is pretty interesting: bitterness, sweet earthy malts, clean and finishes with more hop bite. Nice brew.

Cask at Lucky Lab on Hawthorne, PDX, 26/05/13. Hazed dark amber orange with a thin off white head. Nose is caramel, touch of hops, bitter orange notes. Taste comprises orange pith, caramel, biscuit, bread, touch of hops and a little pine thrown in. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light pine bite with hop bitterness in the finish. Drinkable stuff but not particularly true to style - leave the hops out US brewers it won’t hurt you occasionally !!!

Third beer into my flight here and I’m starting to notice a sameness between all the beer - this is clean, medium dry, crisp, with piney and citric hops - nothing stand out, but clean and quaffable - a light bit of estery notes - not as malt-forward as most alts I have had - decent.

Draft at Lucky Labrador. This one was on style, although not too exciting. A bit of extra pine aroma and a bit more bitter than most alts.

Draught at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall Deep, ruddy amber color with lace. Fruity, gumball, caramel nose. Fragant. Sweet, cherry flavor, with toffee, fruity, and good hops. Flavorful and balanced; the best alt I’ve tried outside of Dusseldorf to date!

Draft. A copper colored beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet maltyh with hoppy notes of grass. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and grass as well as light notes of grapefruit. The body is thin. Good for an IPA, but nowhere near an Alt.
