Taster at the brewery - more in line with the traditional Dusseldorf Alt than a lot of American examples (which are maybe closer to the Dortmund Alt?) in that it is lighter in color and quite dry (a lot of American alts are dark red and quite sweet) - still, malt is center stage, it’s just dry, toasty, and earthy - light tanginess, acidity, with a finishing floral hop bitterness - a bit of leafy character - spicy finish - well-executed, but not great.
