Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with creamy persistent head (2 difference with a real Altbier). Mild aroma with evident but timid fruity esters (1), and light impression of stale/pond water (minor flaw). Dry and rather smooth mouthfeel, a bit weak; some caramel flavor, but too light, and usually there should be a hint of a darker malt too (1); correct bitterness, with no hop character, but a light papery impression in the end.
Clean beer, difficult to identify as Alt, and apart from that it’s a very plain Amber Ale.
