Pours fiery copper with a tall creamy foam stand. Brilliant and clear. Nose is nutty. Hops are earthy and soft. Drinks with a crisp, well defined floral that showcases a light ribbon of caramel on a rich and complex malt. Nutty like bitter walnuts. Hearty, brisk, assertively bitter. Crisp bubbles with clean light mineral taste in the middle. Exemplary. 4.25 overall.

From Genesee Brew House Site:
Alt” or “old beer. Brewed using ale yeast at cooler ale temperatures, then long cold aged to produce a slightly hoppy, well attenuated, balanced ale, with the smooth clean crispness of a lager. The bronzed copper color and subtle malt characters come from 2-Row, Munich and Black Malts. Traditional Hallertau noble hops provide for the assertive Dusseldorf hop profile.
Coming Soon...Imperial Espresso Oatmeal Stout, Doppelbock, & North German Pilsner

On tap at the Genesee Brew House in Rochester, NY.

Pours a copper brown, with a half inch head, and a little bit of lacing.

Smells like grassy hops and caramel, kind of weak aroma, a bit subdued.

The taste of grassy hops and caramel is similar to the aroma. A bit of toasted malt, no bitterness, not very sweet. The taste is a bit too subdued for me.

Light bodied, too light for an alt. Very drinkable, crisp mouthfeel.

A little bit of a miss. This is quite drinkable, but not particularly exciting.
