A toasty, coffee-like experience in the taste. A dash of fruit fits the style. Mild to the mouth, and a touch of acidity. Light-medium body; noticeably attenuated. Very drinkable. I wouldn't mind having one of these brews with breakfast. My only complaint is the complete lack of head retention. Overall, I approve.

Southampton Altbier
According to the label, a "Dusseldorf-Style Brown Ale," Southampton Altbier pours a heavily carbonated, partially transparent brown. The nose gets a toasty malt treat. An aggregate of figs, burnt raisin-bread, semi-sweet milk chocolate & brown sugar.
