The Doppelsticke I’ve had several times before, but never this in the US until now. The usual, Grolsch style, “pop-top” presentation, with good gun-smoke on opening. Head is beautifully formed, excellent lace, nice retention. Brown body. Nose gives...

Very good looker. I'm always seeking that correct, mid to deep, copper clarity in an Alt, and that is found here. The head (and especially the lace) are really very good. Sticky, white and persistent, the lace is a particular feature of the pour....

Anodyne Alt

Anodyne Alt

A Tavour beer. Murky, hazy pour, TBH a bit disappointing. Poorly retained head - also a little disappointing. Nose is better than the appearance promised. Good biscuity malts that fit the bill. Tastes follow-up with the same, but the beer is a...

12 oz stubbie as per the usual Tyranena presentation. Many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this beer. Murky brown pour that lacks clarity but does produce a nice head and some significant, sticky lace. Nose and tastes are very yeasty...

Pictured 02/14/26 Pine Squirrel, Gaylord, MI. Original notes 05/17/09 12 oz stubbie bottle. Been waiting on this one for a while, delighted to get the chance to try it. In a nutshell this beer is for me, just about as quintessential as one is...

22 oz bomber from Riverside Beverage, Chattanooga, TN, USA. If I were to sum this beer up in a simple way, I would say it was authentic or "in style". Orange pour with great clarity. Bone white, frothy head with some good lace. Nose is of the...

Otter Creek Copper Ale

12 oz single from Total Wine, Perimeter, Atlanta, GA, USA. Very light orange pour with almost complete clarity. To be honest it looks a but thin and lightweight. Some lace but no head that offers any sustainability. Nose has that really typical,...

Southampton Altbier

Very happy to accept this into the ATL market in the last few weeks. 12oz single from Tower on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Contract brewed I believe. Beaufiful clarity on the pour, super light amber color nice carbonation and a decent head. Not much...

Headless Man Amber Alt

Altbier

8oz pour, for $1.69 during Happy Hour. Lovely dark dark brown pour and a nicely formed head. Some lace. Good malts (obviously) which are going to be the basis for any decent Alt. I pick up a mild nutty roastiness, and some golden syrup. Slightly...

Organic Münster Alt

Organic Münster Alt

Not really at all sure what is going on here, like the other Pinkus beers that I have tried it's rather odd. This beer has a slightly clouded macro yellow color with plenty of carbonation. Nice head and some good lacing. The beer is an...

Thanks to BEERchitect for this offering. Mid amber pour with some lacing and a small head. Nice legs on the beer considering the relatively (I assume) low alcohol. Smell is really fruity. Surprising! I get mainly pears. A little dry for me in the...

Uerige Doppelsticke

Additional notes and pictured 06/05/23 This really is a weird beer. The bizarre combination of alternating huge malt backbone and odd massive bitterness is something that I can never quite get my head around. Original notes 03/14/06 $5.99 Brawley's...
