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.

bottle, kindly donated by pivnizub. Clear golden yellow, mid-sized white head. Malty nose with a herbal touch. Full-bodied, good malty background with hints of herbal hops. Rather spicy with nice accents of herbs. Has more characteristics of a Heller Bock than a Dortmunder/Helles, to my opinion.

Clear, dark amber color, decent beige head. Slightly cardboardish, caramelly nose with banana type sweetness. Decent body and quite clean flavor. Caramel, some alcohol, low bitterness. Malty and balanced. Not too bad, more pleasant than their Lente Bok.

Can: Golden to deep golden, smaller lacy white head, faint traces of alcohol in the moderate to strong grainy-dusty nose, some hidden citrussy hops detectable; moderate to solid sweet and also a bit bitter flavour, full bodied, as expected; warming alcoholic finish with some sweet grains and a light bitterness. Better than expected or not completely unpleasant........
