Tasting Notes
An Alt ferments with Ale yeast at colder lagering temperatures. This effect gives Alts a more refined, crisp lager-like flavor than traditional ales. The Alt has been “Ninkasified” raising the ABV and IBUs. Sleigh'r has a deep, toasted malt flavor that finishes dry and balanced.

Bottle pours out a dark amber topped with a nice head. Nose is roast bread malts nutts and a touch of earth. Taste is as the nose with a nice malt bill.

A little taste of Dusseldorf, here in the NW. Dark brown with foamy beige head, nutty taste and aroma, roast grains, dry finish. It’s an altbier alright, and a pretty good one too.

Bottle 650ml @ Hotel Room, Hotel Whitcomb, San Francisco, CA
Pours clear amber/brown with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, biscuit, caramel and grass. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a biscuit and caramel finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle, 22oz. A finger thick light beige head sits patiently on top of a clear, amber to brown body. The aroma is on the malty side, toffee and some roasted notes. Not much hoppiness going on. Some in the aroma though, bringing balance. Toffee and some roasted hints. Full body with a pleasant carbonation. Lasting lightly roasted finish with a good bitterness. A pleasant beer, well suited for the cold season. 130805

Bottle: Dark brown with reddish hues, thick beige head. Roasty and earthy aroma, just a little pear. Flavor is roasty, earthy, nutty, peat, and moderate floral hops. Good.

GABF 2012. Good malt flavor. Mildly roasted grain. Simple, but good palate. A good Altbier.

Dark mahogany color, brown, with medium sized head. Aroma of caramel, with light roasted nuts and wood oven baked bread; very light yeast and basil impression, later. Good body strength; the mouthfeel is lean; it has a very good caramel flavor, with mild residual sugars, and the required toasted nuts; quite bitter; more nutty in the end, with darker caramel too.
Very good.

Bomber shared at the Holiday tasting. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. A light spicy nose with some caramel. Pretty clean easy flavor with floral hops, earthy yeast, caramel, light low bitterness in the background. Good.
