    Cool looking flip top bottle purchased from Beer World of Largo that pours a solid clear amber color with a tan head. The aroma is light with a mixture of varying degrees of roasted malts. The taste starts with roasty malts and slightly astringency and then picks up a hint of fruitiness for a moment. The flavors are decidedly smooth and blended. Actually there’s a medley of fruit notes toward the finish and lightly roasted to Munich type malts surface to add a bit more complexity.

    Medium sized tan head, good retention and some splotchy sticky lacing. Clear light brown/ copper hued brew. Light malt nose, some graininess. Medium body. Faint malt flavors, hint of caramel and slight chocolate undertones. Finish is dry with a metallic aftertaste. All around thin, boring.

    The beer pours a mahogany color, appears translucent, and topped with a thin filmy head. Lots of grains, light caramel, and toasted malts in the nose. Average mouthfeel. Flavor starts out sweet, finishes with a bitter roasty kick. Worthy of the King of Alts title.

    As this pours out of the bottle into the glass, it does not smell very good. It pours a translucent dark brown colour with a huge bubbly light brown head which lasts. The aroma is caramel, roasted malt, weak dark fruit notes, and floral hops. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is caramel, roasted malt, yeast, burnt wood, with an oily bitter hop finish.

    Bottle with ceramic swivel top from LCBO. Pours a fairly large frothy off-white head and has a cloudy amber appearance. Decent dirty lacing. Aromas of toasty and light roasted malts. A little bit smoky as well. Flavours are earthy and resin hops, toasty malts and a little bit sweet. Some subtle dry fruit notes also. Slick and somewhat dry moutheel.

    Best before date on back label is 12/2017. Pours a slight hazy amber colour with a huge creamy warm beige cap from the active carbonation. Very long lasting with thick foamy lacing. Sweet aromas of caramel, toasted malts, bread and hints of banana, bubble gum. The taste is not really sweet. A little fruitiness, but more breaded malts with the yeast. Some decent hoppiness in the finish. A good Altbier, but seems to be stronger on wheat with the banana notes.
