A balance of light and dark, of refreshing and full-flavored, making for one solid session beer. With a crisp, lager-like spirit and a toasty character, the bitterness is bolstered yet balanced. The lingering sweet caramel taste is the result of generous use of Crystal malts.

Bottle. Toffee malt, and weedy fresh hay aroma. Amber with large light tan head. Mildly sweet toffee malt and moderately bitter/astringent fresh hay flavor. Good body. Pretty spot-on Altbier.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-caramel color with a large fluffy orange-tan head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was malty, caramel, vegetal and dark fruits. The flavor was malty, vegetal, sour caramel and dark fruits. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

Thanx Cody.
This was poured into a pint glass and a stange.
The appearance had a glossy amber color with a one finger white foamy head in the pint glass and a two and a half finger white foamy head in the stange. Both had the same foamy stringy lacing after the head died.
The aroma smelled the same in both glasses: light cooked fruity slightly caramel breadiness over top of a herbal grassiness.
The taste followed the aroma, it was pretty much the same.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was okay for the style and for me. There’s a light toasty edge rolling over my mouth.
Overall, decent altbier I think I could do again, its nothing special, but nothing bad.
