Alt-Ernative Amber
From Web site: Alt-Ernative Amber The Dsseldorf style of ale has its own unmistakable personality constructed of German-style malts and hops. Full amber color with an impressive malty aroma, the taste is superbly balanced with crisp hops, caramelized malts and imbued with a nice dry finish. A fine session beer! O.G.: 13 Plato, IBUs: 40, ABV: 5.4% On tap at Ohio Brewing Company/Damon's Grill in downtown Akron last night. Poured into a clean, clear mug glass. Review from notes. A Yellow brown translucent basic look with minimal head which dissipates in less than a minute down to tracings. S Very little smell. I had to smell this several times in order to get some non sweet malt smells. Not all that impressive. T Like a weak amber. There are some non sweet malts and some hops in there. Again, unimpressive. M Moderate. Thin, watery finish. D Fair. Despite claims made on web site that it is a fine session beer I cannot see drinking several of these in succession. Notes: I am afraid that this is another weak effort from Ohio Brewing Company.
