Alternative Medicine is an Altbier with a rich, copper tones, medium-body, a malty backbone and a crisp/clean finish. Bready, caramel and toffee flavors are balanced with a moderate bitterness. Our iteration of the style includes a hint of berries from a late whirlpool addition of Barbe Rouge hops. This brew offers an alternative to mundane/everyday beers.

16 oz can. Color shows a deep amber with some mild lace and retention. Aroma is yeast, toffee and lots of toffee. Taste has a mild yeast character with solid toffee hints with a lightly spice finish. Maybe some anise. The bitterness in low side of the spectrum. Simple brew. Easy to drink.

Pours light mahogany into a stang. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Toffee and molasses aromas. Soft with sweet toffee and clove upfront turning to hot bitter licorice and bubblegum in the dry, lasting finish.
