Our Düsseldorf-Style Altbier. We’ve expressed our love and admiration for historic brewing cultures before and like Kölsch in nearby Cologne, Altbier has withstood centuries of trends and innovations, to remain the unique standard-bearer for a proud beer drinking city. Brewed with an ale yeast we’re growing increasingly fond of and familiar with and lagered for eight weeks, it delivers malt richness and complexity while remaining crisp and eminently drinkable. Perfect for kicking off a festive meal!

Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Very light aroma of grain. Taste has light, watery, malt, some heavy toasted grain notes. Palate has caramel notes, some bread, more rye. Good.

Magus, linnaseline, karamelline, kuiv. Stiilile on hästi pihta pandud, aga tahaks caskist saada nüüd. Ok.

Canned 4/20/22, drunk 5/24/22. Clear, dark amber-to-light-mahogany, light-beige head showing medium retention. Good and bready with honey, chocolate, white bread dough and very minimal, lightly herbal hops. Soft and malty, toasty but not too much so, with light berry, caramel and softer honey and hoppy herbs. Like the kolsch, it's pushing it a bit on the bitterness (though still much less so than the kolsch). But still balanced, clean and delicious.

Pours deep mahogany tinged brown into a shaker. Mocha head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Dark molasses and earthy aromas. Soft with dark molasses and earthy spice upfront turning to dry, earthy bark and roots in the lasting finish.
