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.

On tap @ the brewpub. A crystal clear pilsner looking one with a medium sized eventually sidesticking white top. Sweetish nose and sweetish taste. Not cloying but I can immediately say that this is not my kind of beer. Feels light oily in the mouth and its soft prickling on the bubbles. Grainy and wort-sweet in the taste. Lacks what I'm looking for right about now. 25.09.2014

50 cl can. The beer starts sharp-malty and very sweetish. Slightly bitter in the main part, alcoholic-worming. Easy to drink, but totally sweetish and sticky. The aftertaste is warming-sweet, slightly malty-grainy with hints of bitterness.

It’s always spring in the eyes of the dentist’s assistent, so I don’t care it’s the first of October right now. Bottle @ home. Clear light amber colour with a medium sized, somewhat dense head. Smells sweet, malts, grassy, fresh even though it probably isn’t. Tastes malty, sweetish, somewhat grassy, slightly hoppy. Pretty decent for a beer like this I guess. Doesn’t make me excited, but finishing it won’t be a problem either. Thin to medium body, soft carbo.
