beer_name: Southampton Altbier
text: Poured deep mohogany with a decent one finger head and light lacing on the glass. smell is oddly like plastic, Once the smoke comes through I get a little bit of malt. Damn just a overpowering plastic/synthetic smell. taste is smooth malt, smokey malts are overpowering, I get a slight Hallertau Hop in the finish. This is very similar to a Rauchbier. Mouth is decently carbonated, Does not drink all too easy. I might be a newbie for Albier but if this is a good representation, I don't want to try another.
