Crisp, malt forward, and deceptively light bodied with a dark amber hue and ester notes of red stone fruit.

Pint can from Wine Warehouse, 7/3/22. Ghost 968, 1124 of 6100. Poured kinda vigourously, but its six fingers of head. Hazy copper. Aroma of caramel, sweat, salt. OK, odd. Taste is tea, nuts, caramel, dark fruits. Thin. High carb, lingering bitterness. Okay. Brewed in Orlando, WTF Adroit?

Can ordered from Suda & Soda, Derby. Aroma is malty, earthy and caramel. Opaque light brown. Creamy foamy off-white head. Initial warm and spicy malty introduction. Immediately followed by earthy bitterness and a sour blackcurrant edge. Light-medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Nothing flashy but hits the spot.

Can. Adroit brewing one of my favourite German beer styles. Of course I'm curious about that... Color: Clear orange-brown amber, large off-white head. Aroma: Malty, caramel. Taste: Moderate sweet malt, caramel, subtle fruity notes of red and dark fruit. Decent hopbitterness, getting a little stronger at the finish. Very slightly fruity sourness. Bread and light toast notes. Malty caramel finish. Under average carbonation. Medium body. A little less smooth / creamy, a little more bitterness at the finish and somewhat more fruity than the German Alts I've had, as far as I remember, but overall a nice American example of this style.

16oz can from Tavour. Clear amber pour, fizzy off-white head. Malty, nutty, dry aroma. Hint of sweetness in the taste, toasty, dry malts, nutty, woody flavors. Right on target for the style.
