Bottle: light brown colour, thick white head, quickly vanishing; malty and fruity nose, a little,little bit sourish; well balanced, well rounded; malty, fruity flavour with a medium hoppy finish. The "lightest" of the classical brews of Duesseldorf.

(draught) Pale yellow-brown, greenish shine; unbelievably uniformly straight head, like whipped eggwhite poured over a spoon. Hoppy nose as British cask ale, noble German hops. Flat, but quite hoppy taste; flowery, but tasting rather British keg-ale like. Although there is no visible carbonation, the taste indicates oversaturated beer. Light to medium bodied, ends a bit dead. As expected, the most industrial of the 4 Hausbrauerei Altbiere. Why? I’m sure they could do better.

Golden-brown. Bubbly head. Earthy w slight fruitiness, and some quality breadcrust. Lots if breadcrust, poppyseed, earthy notes. Subtle, complex.
