(bottle) This one looks and tastes the same as Bolten Alt, which I had shortly before. Except for the slightly different temperature, I would say it is probably the same brew as a cheaper version. Same rating for this one.

(bottle) Dark reddish amber colour with a firm foamy medium white head. Aromas of roasted malts with some floral hoppy background. The taste is initially caramel-malty and well-balanced with its hopbitter and nutty aftertaste. A good example of an Altbier from the Lower Rhine area

(Bottle 50 cl) Actually called "Boltens Ur-Weizen". Beautiful honey golden beer with a tall, handsome head. Very carbonated - or "Spritzig" in German. Very dry and not quite as fruity and spicy as the best Hefes. 290700

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden with a decent head. Aroma of caramel - perhaps even cinnamon. Malty with a light bitterness. Dry and not very full-bodied, actually a bit watery. But highly drinkable. 120300

(Bottle 50 cl). Dark brown almost mahogany-coloured beer. Decent head although it fades quickly. Nice, toffeeish body, slightly roasted tone and an incredibly delicious flavor. Distinct, but not dominating bitterness. 200903

(Bottle 50 cl) Deep dark amber color. Appears slightly hazy, possibly beacuse it’s cold. With a small, tight head. Some impurities, probably this beer is unfiltered. That might be why they call it "ur". Distinct but not crushing bitterness. Fresh but not too much body. 230803

(swing top bottle) Cloudy and dark hazelnut body with a medium foamy off-white head, which turns into a creamy layer. Aroma of malty caramel, herbal hops and a bit yeast. Smooth taste of roasted malts with a well balanced bitter hoppy finish and a hint of fruitiness. Quite complex and enjoyable. This one comes close to the classics from Düsseldorf.

(bottle) red to brown body with short white head. Faint but malty aroma. Toasted malts at the start with a hoppy dry & short finish. Typical industrial Alt.

(bottle) Pale amber colour with medium frothy off-white head. Slight aroma of toasted malts and some fruity but also soapy elements. The taste is medium bitter with some light roasted maltiness and a dry bland finish. Thin bodied and rather disappointing.

Clear orange color, medium off-white rocky head. Aroma is malty and hoppy, typical of an altbier. Sweet malty taste, bitter. Quite typical altbier, one of the better german styles.
