Description
Since 1870 our family, the Meens family, has been brewing its Alfa beers in the traditional way. Alfa Bier's brewing process is still the traditional brewing process. The recipe, the method of brewing and the raw materials have consciously never changed, because we do not compromise on the quality of our beer. Alfa is the only brewery in the Netherlands to have 100% pure spring water from an officially recognized source. That water from our own source determines the special, pure and full taste of our Alfa Beers.

0.33 l bottle shared with ?omo, Dinko and Jela. Thanks Dinko. Dark brown with small off white head. Light and sweet. Caramel and dark malts aroma. Brown sugar. Very light finish, but that’s normal for the style.

0.33 l bottle as "Alfa Limburgs Super Dort" from Firma Bier, best before June 2016. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminshing, white head. Sweetish-malty aroma with grassy notes of grains, hay and a bit of butter. Sweetish-malty, slightly grassy taste of caramel, grains and hay, followed by a short, light grassy-hoppy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite sweet and not very exciting, but still round and quite quaffable. Nothing wrong with it.
