About
The Obergärige Hausbrauerei Uerige (top-fermented craft brewery) is not a museum, but an exceedingly modern food business where a craft rich in centuries of tradition is carried out. It goes without saying that the Reinheitsgebot, or Purity Law dating from 1516, is still adhered to, because its results are good and lasting, relying, as it does, on nature as one of its main factors. Which is exactly what we do, too: our yummy droplet is made of nothing but water, barley, wheat malt, and our Uerige yeast.

Thanks jinroh for sharing 8-9 year old bottle! Poured into a snifter showing medium amber with no head. The nose shows strong notes of baking bread and malt. The palate is medium bodied with barely any carbonation. Strong notes of baked bread and grainy malt with a light bitterness on the finish.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. 8-9 years old vintage bottle from my Secret Santa, thank you Beerhunter111. Hazy brown pour, no real carbonation. Nose is mind blowing, sweet caramel blended together with some bitterness,. Figs dried plums and sugary dates. Taste is nicely cake-like, some sweet heat, rye spices, well blended and finishing with dry bitter, slick linger. Herbal. Really has aged nicely, great beer. Definitely the best altbier I have ever had.

33 cl ceramic swing top bottle. Pours a tawny copper brown color. Small creamy beige head. Toasted malt nose has earthy, sweet caramel notes. Interesting bittersweet caramel malt flavor upfront. Some nuttiness in middle, with a hint of rye grain. Bitter hops in finish are slightly resiny. Very good.

50 cl. flip-top bottle @ home, bought @ Trinkgut Kleve. Clear dark amber with a huge off-white head. Caramel, hops and leather/cellar aroma. Taste is fairly bitter with a sour touch which give it a real good drinkability. Not unlike a good English bitter. Massive beer for such a modest ABV. Will drink again.

Bottle from Best One, Brackley Road, Bedford. Tawny brown, almost clear, with a film of off-white head. Caramel malt, wood chips, medicinal herbs in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with an astringent hoppy flavour in the latter half of the sip. Walnuts and green hoppy touches on the aftertaste. I like a good Altbier and was excited to try this, but found it a little underwhelming if solid.
