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.

Typical dutch oud bruin. Dark brown color, quickly disappearing head. Extremely sweet, slightly malty aroma and taste. Loads of sugar. Not my kind of beer, maybe my mother likes it...

Very decent pilsener. Very much like the Alfa pilsener, which is one of my favorite pilseners. So this one is recommendable too.

What a nice pilsener this is! Soft on the tongue, but real tasty. The pure water used to brew this beer, is a pleasure to the tongue. Relative good palate and overall one of the better pilseners.

Rerate 2002: Weaker than last year. Still the smooth palate, but it has become a more average bock. Original rate: 4. One of the better bocks i have to say. Smells very good, bocky. Dark brown appearance. Sweetness, hops, typical bock brew. But overall everything a good bock needs is present.

Cloudy orange-brown color, no lasting head. Malty amber aroma. Tastes like the Caracole Ambree, but a bit weaker, and less balanced. But certainly worth a try.
