The aroma is citrus, floral, & a bit hoppy. The appearance is light to golden yellow with good quarter inch white head with good retention. Taste is malty in front, coffee in back. The floral character is there. There is also faint tart cherries with blueberry notes. Mouthfeel is nice, light, & nice carbonation. Drinkability is good; could knock a few back on a hot summer day.

Liked it, but didnt love it

Thin head but decent lacing on a hazy amber brown body. Aroma is of fruits and citrus with sweet molasses and sweet candy sugar. Flavor is overly sweet with bready malts, brown sugar, molasses, citrus hops and slight metallic note. Medium body and moderate carbonation. The flavors are too sweet and disorganized for my tastes. This is an older keg, 2010 maybe, which may gave affected this one.

Had a kickbacks, a tad oxidized due to storing. I think this beer was atleast 1 years, if not 2 years old. So it was expected to pick that up a little. Otherwise, it was a nice session alt, atleast it tasted like a sessionable alt. Very smooth and a great represetation of style and it didn;t seem too over imperilized.

amber in color with copious amounts of carbonation bubbling up toward the surface throughout. Nice white head on top, maybe an inch and a half before settling down to coat the inside of the glass for a minute. Interesting aroma, mix of grains, light bready malts, and a touch of a grassy, herbal hoppiness. Nothing crazy here but nicely balanced. Same could be said for the flavor, nice pale taste, light bready notes balancing a herbal sort of hop. Lightly sweet

Kind of a bummer, I was going to pick this up along with a bottle of Weyerbacher's Tiny but they were sold out. This brew was to me just another beer. Not too much special about it. The Altbier's are really my favorite style but to me this just didn't hit home. The Beer is a deep brown color maybe a little red mixed in there. The nose is of Malts and some light hops, maybe some roasted nuts in there too. The taste is just not exciting at all here. Really this is just something that they might have thrown together just to say they did it.

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip.

A: Brown. I mean it's pure brown. A big fluffy 3 finger head quickly dissapated to nothing.

A: Sweetness right off the bat, followed by a fruitiness and some caramel malt. Hops not that noticable in the nose.

T: This is not that good. The sweetness overpowers the beer, and leaves it a fruity mess. There is next to no hop presence, and the european yeast strain accentuates the sweetness, and not in a good way.

M: Medium to heavy body, overly carbonated.

O: I thought this beer was a mess. It looked good in the glass, but quickly turned. It was too fruity, too sweet, and not well balanced at all. I was expecting much more from weyerbacher. Sad to say, this one went down the drain. Skal.

A-Pours an amber/ruby color with almost no head, just a thin ring of bubbles.

S-Milk chocolate, lightly roasted malts, circus peanut candy.

T/M-The best yet from this series. Roasty and medium bodied, with an appealing milk chocolate sweetness. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation.

D-Easy drinking and tasty. While the other beers from this line-up have been all over the place, the Juliet is a beer that attempts a simple style successfully, resulting in a highly drinkable beer.

Thanks, Kyle, for sharing this one with me you big lug.

A - Clear reddish mahogany with a long lasting, whitish fluffy head. Lots of lacing.

S - Bready/toasty malts, with a lite floral hop character. Otherwise quite clean.

F/M - Bready malts, lite sweet pilsner malt flavors. Floral hops with a medium-low hop bitterness. Clean, dry finish. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

D - Good, clean, dry and quite refreshing. This would make a great summer time brew. I could probably drink a couple more of these.

A: Pours a light brown iced tea color with a thin off white cap.

S: Lots of candy, sticky sugars and raisin.

T: close to the nose as far as the candied raisin sweetness and figs. Almost a butterscotch type flavor.

M: medium bodied, good carbonation.

Overall: For my first Altbeir I am happy. This is a really balanced and tasty beer. I'm liking the Weyerbacher brewers reserve series so far.

Bottle thanks to ericwo.

Pours a deep burgundy color with copper/ruby highlights and one finger of creamy off white head with average retention.

Scent of caramel, earth, some leafy hops and a hint of alcohol. A mostly sweet scent with a little dryness coming from the earth character.

Taste of sweet caramel, dry spices, earth, graham cracker, and a hint of alcohol. Sweet initially with dry spices coming in shortly after leading to a dry, somewhat bitter finish.

Mouthfeel is fairly heavy and a little oily with a fair amount of carbonation, feels a little thin.

A - Pours a nice, deep copper body with some ruby highlights and clarity...a two finger, off white head forms and shows decent retention...nice lacing

S - Sweet caramel and toffee dominate the nose...an earthy hop and grainy malt aroma as well

T - The sweetness stays with the flavors...caramel and toffee again dominate with a blast of sweetness...it also provides a touch of roastiness...in the middle there is a fruity presence but I can't put my finger on a specific fruit that stands out...the earhty flavor comes through at the end...there is also a bit of hop bitterness at the very end

M - Medium bodied...sometimes comes up a tad thin...a touch of creaminess...but there's something that is keeping my from scoring it higher

D - This was a good concept of an "imperial" alt...the alt characteristics where there with the caramel malt sweetness and a touch of earthy hops...the alcohol doesn't come through too much...another nice one-off by Weyerbacher

Pours a hazy orange-ish to brown color with a light tan head. In the aroma, small fruitiness and a small dry yeasty malt. In the taste, a fruitier malt, white grape and small lemon zest like, and a small hop bitterness. Mainly smooth and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a semi dry fruit like aftertaste. A small hint of tart fruitiness and small roast like, yet still a lager.

Poured into a snifter it appears a clear dark amber brown color with a finger of creamy tan head. Fair retension and patches of lace cling all along the glassware. The nose of this brew is a very sweet mixture of floral hops blended with a yeasty fruitiness and caramel malt. Taste includes the flavor of caramel malt along with a slight touch of chocolate flavor that finishes with a bit of an earthy/musty flavor almost like stale coffee. The combination of fruity yeast and floral hops are just as evident in the flavor as the nose. A bit of bittering hop are present in the finish to balance out the sweetness of this brew. Medium feel with a moderate amount of carbonation. There is a lingering flavor of fruity yeastiness and bitter herbal hops left in the mouth. The 8.5% alcohol is noticeable with its warming ability but not very evident in flavor. The strange mustiness of this brew hurts the drinkability a bit but all in all it was still an enjoyable brew.
