On-tap in Cowtown, and manufactured at the Foothills location, but nonetheless, I'm adding this to the Oliver location, Gunther's home haunt...
This beer appears a glassy medium ruddy amber, with one finger of soapy pale beige head, which leaves some leaching ringed lace around tne glass as it settles. It smells of sweet, bready malt, very pastry-like, a bit of nuttiness, and earthy, leafy hops. The taste is bready, somewhat sour malt, some vanilla, a bit of herbal imposition, and more earthy, musty hops. The carbonation is average, if a bit zippy, the body near-medium in weight, and generally smooth. It finishes off-dry, the neutered malt still doing well, with little to otherwise screw with it.
Not nearly as crisp as a standard altbier, but fairly complex all the same. More German-esque goodness from a 'local' brewer - maybe I'll know better if this makes its way north.
