Altbiers are “old-style” (“Alt” means “old” in German) from the area around Dusseldorf in northern Germany. They are cold-aged ales which are light amber coloured and have a fairly high bitterness level but very low aroma and flavour hopping rates. The result is a very solidly malty but distinctively dry beer with a deep golden/amber colour and a bright white and tight, long-lasting head. Ours is made with 4 types of malt and German hops and yeast.

Je ne comprends pas trop pourquoi cette bière n'est pas cotée plus avantageusement, mais à chacun son palais ;-) Très douce au nez, avec des malts caramélisés en évidence. En bouche, c'est sucré, juste bien dosé, puis ensuite arrive une finale plutôt douce. Le style est bien représenté ici, sans fla-fla.

Part of their 2018 Canadian Brewpub Pack. Pours a clean amber colour with a golden hue. Big frothy-creamy dirty light-yellow head with good retention and some tiny spots of lace. Darker grain nose with hints of molasses and hops. The cereal grains seems a little too light in here for the style, and the hops are the hops take more place. The mouthfeel is dry. Not sure for the style, but as an easy drinking darker malt, hoppier brew - it works.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized creamy white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was toffee and almost buttery. The flavor was sweetish, buttery and toffee. Long sweet buttery finish. Medium body. Disappointing.
