A smooth cold conditioned ale with a hint of caramel sweetness.

Looks good at Red copper color. Decent head. Taste is mild and inoffensive. Definitely on the malty side. Feel is good, refreshing. Overall, not bad, but you won't remember it.

Had on draft at the Great Lost Bear.
Clean amber transparent with a good head that laces well
A hint of malt upfront with a fruity back lite nice 3.5 to 4
The taste matches the aroma a slight tart but mostly sweet malt with a roasted malt finish.
The beer is clearn and fresh and pretty easy to drink.

Off the tap in Bethel this Altbier was a copper color with a great tan head of delicate bubbles that retained itself as a collar and left scattered lacing. The aroma was almost non-existent; pale, dry malt was all I could get. The flavors were odd, nutty at first it then went towards caramel malt before it became very full of minerals and wood. The finish was bitter in a biting way. The body was medium, the mouthfeel rough and the carbonation too high and subsequently foamy. Misbalanced and off-target for the style.

Dark amber in color with apparent clarity; generous lace
No off aromas but very mild; I have no idea what to expect in the taste.
This is a well balanced beer. There is subtle chocolate malt and a very interesting smokiness to the brew. Overall, this is a dry beer. The aftertaste is where the hops show up. Good body.
With a little more aroma, this would be a superior offering.
