Slight foggy amber orange color with an off-white foam head. Notes of nutty rich toasted malts, light caramel, toffee, dark amber honey, subtle dried fruits, apricot, orange citrus, hints of apple/pear orchard fruit, mild spice, and floral earthy herbal grassy hops. Feels medium plus bodied, smooth and crisp. Overall a really nice altbier style ale.

The chestnuts and mild spice in the malt is rather heady. Dark rye bread and earthy, tangy hops make for an interesting balance. Clean as can be in the feel. Light, smooth, easy.

Really enjoyable collab treat. This leans more toward Vienna than Alt, but the beer can does describe it as a Helles-Alt. Regardless, it's a very finely crafted beer and I'm savoring each of the four on 4 separate occasions.

A pretty decent seasonal/Fall brew. A gorgeous copper color and an interesting malty aroma and flavor. But not super remarkable.

Pours an auburn brown with white head, not a lot of sustain. Maybe a little caramel sweetness. Nice malt sweetness. It really shines here, as you would expect. Honestly like this a lot. I realize there aren't a lot of flavor notes but this is beer tasting beer and that's great.
