On tap at Dovetail, pours a clear amber orange with a small white head. Aroma reveals dry bready malt and a touch of caramel. Flavour is dry, with almost burnt bready malt and a hint of caramel. Finishes bone dry, drier than most alts I've had from Germany, but it's well-made. Good stuff.

Draft at the source. Gorgeous clear deep amber color, fluffy tan head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel. Taste is peppery caramel biscuit. Very tasty

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear Amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has biscuit and bread with a light earthy grain note and a light leaf note. Flavor has a nice grain and bread combination with a hint of sweetness supporting.
