1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20 obguthr (4782) - Staunton, Virginia, USA - JUN 9, 2007
Draft: Curious raisin and yeast aroma. Greenish dark copper color with a medium head. It has a nice initial tangy punch that gives way to a pleasant moderate hoppiness. I have found that the quality of hops this brewer uses is top knotch. Its a tad tinny, but finishes cleanly.

On tap at Alt Platz. Color was a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma was malty with floral hops and a bit nutty. Flavor was a nutty chocolate with a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Keep up the good work Tom.

Draft at the brewpub, 10/28/06: Looks like a flat coke ... and kinda tastes like one too. Dirty sock aroma. Bit of a sour tone, like sweet malt soda. No thanks.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Trooper11 (468) - Suffolk, Virginia, USA - OCT 21, 2006
Sedona Bronze Ale. Clear, dark brown/bronze. Minimal head. Nutty aroma maybe a bit of raisin, sweet to taste, a bit smoked flavor and a light sweet chocolate aftertaste. Good stuff.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 KukinskyG (4) - Chesapeake, Virginia, USA - OCT 12, 2006 does not count
Tall(24oz)- purchased onsite. Was not on tap yet, but the bartender pulled me one from the cooler( Very Nice Gesture) They call it a Brozne- a hybrid brew based on the dark almost reddish brown(bronze) appearance-Excellent aroma- nicely hopped-immediate bite on the palate then a smooth rush of maltiness with a touch of sweetness- one thing I will say about this brewey is their ability to balance the beers with hop/malt tones without over powering- the beer is very pleasant and different - Unique would be the term. Once again I left happy with that all natural buzz from a great brew. Also had a pizza- and it was phenominal!!!! Dough for the pies is made onsite also- a 24oz superior beer and a great pie for less than a movie- this place floundering- I beg to differ!!!!
The impertinence this brewery is getting is a disgrace- and those that are spreading it should be throttled about the head and neck reagion! Well done Alt Platz!!! Keep up the good beers!!!!!
