(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours ever so slightly hazy, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Lightly sweet malt aroma. Medium body with vague caramel notes and a dry finish. Decent if not exactly thrilling. 310507

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel - and so is the flavor too with a slightly bitter finish.

(bottle, with thanks to Saarlander!) Slightly hazy, amber colour with a small creamy, off-white layer. Dusty, sweet toast-malty aroma with toffee and spicy notes of liquorice. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate to crispy carbonation. Toast-malty, slightly fruity, nutty taste with toffee; dry, malty, nutty and slightly bitter finish with light notes of herbal hops. Decent Alt, and my first one from the U.S.

7/7/08: rerated recently as Altbier. Rootbeer color. Lots of rolling carbonation from a 12 oz bottle. Aroma is candylike Relatively kind on the palate. Has a mild bitterness which is also relatively kind. As the session continues, there is a building bitterness on the back of the throat. Finish is mild building to medium linger that hangs for a while. Previous rating: I am a little bit pissed I already tried this as Southampton Altbier. 12 oz bottle. Pours with the appearance of a light root beer, with lots of bubbles coming up. No appreciating head. Smells a little sweet and yeasty. Slight malt and almost sweet root beer taste. Can’t detect much bitterness if any. Nice slight tingly carbonation on the back of my tongue. Has a very enjoyable finish, however, it has a small amount of bitterness that lingers. Overall, nice beer. I think I like the Alt style, erie’s heritage alt was good too! SECOND RATING 8/25/07: On tap at the Bocktown. Very enjoyable! Mild as many witbiers, but without the spice. Very little bitterness on the finish, if any.Reminds me of many scottish ales.

Poured a transparent copper from the bottle with a clumpy off white head. Yeasty, grainy smell, sweet though. Sweet malt flavor, hints of molassas and caramel. Smooth, watery finish. Nothing complex but highly drinkable.

Slightly reddish brown body with a bunch of lacing left by a mediocre head. Aromas are unispiring... maybe some caramel, mabye some nuts, but nothing really exciting. Flavor is much better than I would have guessed with our phenomenal start. Nice nutty flavoring with some lightly roasted malt presence and a touch of toffee like sweetness. Comes off a bit watery every now and again, but some sips seem much fuller than others... perplexing, to say the least.

Sampled at From The Vine beer tasting Sep 22nd, 2006: Well the secret is out and I’m not quite sure why it was a secret in the first place, as this is a pretty run-of-the-mill Altbier. Pours dark clear brown with a compact light tan head that lingers. Patchy lacing. The aroma is nutty and malty.Medium-bodied and smooth with a toasted malt and hops flavor, along with some nuts. The finish is nutty with a lingering hops aftertaste. Thoroughly average.

Pours deep reddish brown into a shaker. Earth and leaf aromas. Substantial head retention with consistent micro-bubbles. Metallic and sweet with dry abrupt, bitter finish.

Bottle on 01/02/2011. Clear dark amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel and toasty malt aroma. Toasty malt, caramel, and slight bready flavor. Medium body with moderate carbonation. 7/4/7/3/13 - 3.4 02/27/2006 - Clear dark amber color. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of grassiness. Flavor is sweet but the grassiness is somewhat detracting. 6/3/6/3/12 - 3.0

This is the first beer I have had from this company. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a rich mahogany color with a large tan head. The aroma is sour, malty and nutty with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is sour and bitter with a fruity and nutty undertone and a hint of chocolate on the finish.
