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.

Aroma of corn and perhaps some hop. Perhaps not. Light golden color with a non-lacing white head that didn’t stay long. Starts corny sweet. Nearly medium mouthfeel. The good news is that there is a reasonable amount of hop in the finish. Arguably this deserves the label pilsener, and definitely deserves a much higher rating than mass-Bud.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a light orange head. The aroma is sweet fruity especially citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and lighter notes of alcohol and metal, leading to a dry bitter end.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Clear golden, dense head. Buttery papery malt aroma. Malt sweet with generous amounts of bready malt and butter. On top of that there’s some grassy hops. An aromatic, very well balanced beer completely relying on it’s excellent malt character.

(bottle, received by trade with bierkoning – thanks!) Clear deeep golden colour with a short white foam. Sweet malty and slightly fruity (peach) aroma. Sweet flavour, medium body, moderate carbonation. Sweet malty, slightly toasty and fruity taste; the alcohol comes a bit harsh in the sweetbitter and short finish. Still drinkable.
