Originally a special draft-only release for the 2012 Decatur Green Fest, this beer was so adored that we decided to bring it on full-time in 2013. With a mild herbal spice hop aroma and a malty flavor profile featuring notes of caramel, toffee, and nuts, this malt-forward, Altcentric beer is a welcome compliment to our hop-forward roster. Brewed in association with Dogwood Alliance, an organization formed in 1996 and dedicated to protecting Southern forests and communities from destructive logging practices.

16 oz. draft on the Norweigian Aqua. Pours a dark amber color with a good sized beige head and excellent retention. No distinct aroma. Tastes more like an ESB to me, with just a touch of caramel and some light hops in the finish. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Mild bitterness. Smooth and mostly clean. It's okay.

Off-kilter for an alt. Strong floral bitterness overpowers the usual toasted bread and nutty notes you want from the style. Finishes dry and slightly yeasty. Comes across as a very American altbier.

Has a nice aged aged taste to it. Comes out with a little bit of a crisp finish. A little of a sweet, sugary malt. Average carbonation. Pours amber with good head and lacing. Tap at Churchkey.

4 ounces on draft at ChurchKey during the SAVOR Surly event, probably left over from the previous night’s event. Thanks solidfunk! Golden brown with off-white head. Aromas of sweet malt, caramel, dark fruit. Tasting notes of sweet malt, caramel. Medium-light body with a dry finish.

Bottle from Total Wine in Orlando, FL. Pours clear copper with a creamy beige head. Slightly malty aroma. It’s essentially light roasty malt with some mild hop. Drinkable but not exciting.

Svak duft av humle og honning. Fin brun gyllen farge. Lite skum. Litt smak av vørter med en ettersmak av honning.
