440ml can. Cloudy, dark amber colour with small to average, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Toasty and minimally nutty malty, minimally caramel malty and minimally fruity hoppy aroma, hints of hazelnut, nougat, a touch of red berries. Taste is slightly toasty, nutty, caramel malty with subtle residual sweetness, slightly fruity and minimally leafy hoppy, hints of hazelnut, toasted nut, a touch of nougat, red berries.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Relatively hoppy, good balance and drinkability - nice.

0.44 l can from 'Hetbiermoment.nl', best before June 2026. Hazy, reddish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of caramel, raisins, some strawberry and traces of wet leaves. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, slightly dry, moderately fruity taste of grains, straw, nuts, caramel, wet leaves and raisins, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant Alt, very well-brewed.

1st October 2025 - Very nice Alt, at Arendsnest, Amsterdam. Not normally a fan of the style, but this was good

Menno - Droppke Alt

Sampled @ Van Moll Fest 2025. Rusty reddish color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, awesome leaves bitterness. Sounds so weird but it tastes great. Tea-ish bitter also. Superbly balanced. Very good. 8-8-9-9-9

Draft sample @ Barcelona Beer Festival ’25.
Couleur pâle oscillant sur l’ambre, col épais crémeux bien tenace blanc-cassé.
Arôme est bien plaisant sur les malts – dont un parfum agréable de Vienna qui confère ce côté un peu biscuité, et un léger grillé en retrait. Le tout sur un support houblonné noble.
Palais est finement malté, pâle et pils avec une pointe de grillé voire de malt Vienna/Munich, frais houblonné vert apportant une touche florale – jasmin, tout en restant sur le noble.
Bready et biscuité en fin de bouche, amertume poussiéreuse au fini.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. A well-constructed and rich Alt with the right amount of roasted malt and a solid bitterness. Picking up a little noble hop, I could have a few of these.

Can. Color: Slightly hazy amber, off-white head. Aroma: Caramel malt, some citrus hop. Taste: Again caramel malt and floral / citrus hop. Light hints of liquorice. More hoppy and more citrus fruit than I remember from the original German versions. Ok overall.
