Frischer und herber Geruch. Recht herber Antrunk, der im weiteren Verlauf stärker, im Nachgeschmack penetrant bitter wird. Dadurch wird die hopfige Note im Mittelteil völlig übertrumpft, wer auf pure Herbe steht, ist hier richtig, der Rest kann das Bier im Regal stehen lassen. Test vom 17.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,6,5,5,6 - 6,15

Hopfiger Geruch. Dass das Bier gut gehopft ist, wird bereits im Antrunk deutlich. Leicht würzig, dafür etwas bitter geht es im Geschmack weiter. Im Nachgeschmack weiterhin bitter, ein herber Ton ist ebenfalls präsent. Sicherlich kein herrausragendes Bier. Test vom 14.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,8,8,9,10,9 - 8,85

(swing top bottle) Cloudy, pale golden colour with a short and creamy, slightly off-white layer. Yeasty, slightly sweet grainy, also a bit wheaty aroma with delicate citrousy hops and light notes of barnyard. Moderately sweet, light bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Yeasty, malty taste, again slightly wheaty with a faint fruity note; dryish malty and yeasty bitter finish. Well-quaffable top-fermented brew.
This brew reminds me of descriptions of Keutebier, a top-fermented style, originated from the Lower Rhine area, that was very popular between the 15th and 19th century. It was one of the earliest beers brewed with hops (instead of herbs, Grutbier for example) and contained besides barley- also amounts of wheat- and spelt-malt. Keutebier can be seen as a predecessor of Kölner Wiess and Kölsch.

(swing top bottle, received from DerDoppelbock) Cloudy, dark amber colour with a fluffy but not lasting frothy off-white head. Dusty, slightly sweet and spicy herbal aroma, slightly roasty with faint notes of caramel. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium body with a lively carbonation. Malty taste with caramel, a bit fizzy on the palate; pleasantly dry, moderately yeasty and bitter finish with a touch of herbal hops. Quaffable.

Swing-top bottle (diky, MoritzF): Hazy, golden coloured, lacing fluffy white head; wheat, yeast, citrousy hops in the aroma; soft MF, light bodied, moderate sweet-bitter flavour; sweetish-grainy finish with a fruity, citrousy touch. A well crafted beer of an unknown style.......

Bottle, thanks MoritzF. Cloudy yellow, big foamy head. Candyish citrus nose, sprinkle of dust. Tea-like dryness, citrus, a bit napkin. Lightish body, herbal and minerally dry finish.

Bottle, 4.8%. Dark orange/brown colour. Big, stable, creamy, light brown head. Low to medium bitterness. Flavour and aftertaste are fruity and roasted. Pleasant carbonation. Quite OK beer.

Riecht etwas nach Seife. Das Alt ist recht mild, was schon im Antrunk deutlich wird. Der Antrunk ist leicht hopfig und führt in einen malzigen und würzigen Mittelteil, der aber wie gesagt recht mild wirkt. Mit der Zeit wird das Alt noch würziger, dennoch vermisse ich die Vollmundigkeit. Der Nachgeschmack ist weniger würzig und klingt mild und leicht röstmalzern aus. Ein stärkeres Altbier ist mir lieber. Test vom 3.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,9,8,12,9 - 9,10
