Clear Copper pour, with a medium off white head. Aroma is bready, some nice caramel, and a subtle herbiness. Nice mouthfeel, solid, and the carb is perfect. The finish is semi sweet, minimal bitterness with some soft grassy hops in the end with a nice nutty maltiness.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber-copper with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild aroma of bready caramel malt, toffee, earth and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, toffee, grapefruit rind and floral in a dry, bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with an almost creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to put back.

Tap at the Black Frog in Vancouver BC. Pours dark Amber with a creamy beige head. Malty aroma. Med body. Flavor is mildly spicy and malty. Make that moderately spicy. Good alt IMHO.

Bottle: Poured a clear light copper color Alt with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light cereal notes is quite enticing. Taste is also a mix of dry caramel malt notes with some clean cereal notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Not bad for the style but missing some of the yeast signature associated to the style.

650ml bottle. Nutty brown colour, slightly hazy with a thick white head. Caramel,grassy aroma. Caramel dominates the flavour too, but with a hoppy bite on the finish

Draught at Tap & Barrel, Coal Harbour, Vancouver
Hazy amber color; huge head, difficult to pour. Light malt aroma with very light esters. Smooth mouthfeel; malt and caramel flavor, dry and sandy/dusty; average bitterness.
More Amber Ale than Altbier.

Well done altbier. Nice and wooden bitter at finish. Malty tang in aroma. Pours orange clear without much head or lacing. Average carbonation. Sampled at Garrick’s head.
