Pours a nice dark russet from a tap. Rich malty aroma and flavor, lightly sweet with a thin bitter finish. Very good beer.

355ml can from Beer 52, poured into a 'Good People' (of Birmingham Alabama) straight sided US pint glass at home on 30th Apr 2019. Nice clean and clear light amber body, off-white affair of a head. Not too sure it's an Altbier but I enjoyed it no matter what style it is. Malty nose and flavour front, dry feel to the taste and aftertaste with very little sweetness from the maltiness. It's a little bitter really taste wise really, but in a good way. Interesting and pleasant brew and another new brewery for me.
