A balance of light and dark, of refreshing and full-flavored, making for one solid session beer. With a crisp, lager-like spirit and a toasty character, the bitterness is bolstered yet balanced. The lingering sweet caramel taste is the result of generous use of Crystal malts.

Bottle. Amber with a beige head. Aroma of bread crusts and nuts. Light bodied, getting towards watery. Mild caramel sweetness, spicy bitterness. Really rather empty before that finish, but pleasant and refreshing.

Pours copper with a very small head.Rich malty aroma, lots of toasty, and nutty malt. Tempting.Similar flavours, loads of nutty malt making for a very moreish drop.Low carbonation. Could be a bit higher.

I was going to pass on this until I realized it was an alt - clear medium amber- moderate lace - the nose is initially all Munich richness - very pleasant until some light vegetal and metallic (copper) notes show up - slight bummer - flavor is crisp and biscuity up front, but also slightly husky - moderate toasty vienna and sweet munich maltiness through the middle before a medium dry, medium bitter finish - lingering grain husks - much like the kolsch, this has promise, but it is troubled by a handful of minor flaws.

A good rendition of the Dusseldorf altbier style. Nice hoppy bitterness, thick fluffy head, orange/copper color. Pleasant sipper...

Draught Good off-white head over hazy amber-gold beer. Malt, lightly coloured malts, green hops (and not EU ones). Sulphur-y. Faint bitterish-toasted flavour. Hops are in evidence, but not really in balance with the main malt flavour. Warming up, sulphur gone, in exchange for nice nutbread flavour. Aftertaste is surprisingly dry-bitterish, some hopoils that are not bad. BIt sticky. Deserving, but still... I think somebody ought to catch the trolley to Düsseldorf, instead of USA-written cookbooks.
