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.

6.5/10
2017 bottle. Fairly typical and straightforward Dutch bock. Caramelly sweetness, hint of roasted malts, a bit thin. Tasty enough, but nothing exciting. More bitter than most, that's good.

Bottle @ home, 50 ct. @ Appie. Clear deep golden color. Rocky white head with good retention and some lacing Aroma's: typical Alfa malty, candy sugar, fruit candy. Retronasal: sweetish, malty, fruit candy. Flavor is moderate sweet, fruity, with a hint of bitterness (quite unusual for Alfa). Medium bodied. Soft bitterness in the finish. Going towards the German example, but not as flavorful.

Taste is sweet caramel and sweet malts with a touch of honey and bread leading to a slightly bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation with a slightly dry aftertaste. Next one please!

Thuis in de tuin uit een flesje. Licht amberkleurig, wit/beige schuim. Eerste slok valt wat tegen qua smaak. Went wel daarna, maar het redelijk hoge abv van 6,5 heeft niet echt een meerwaarde. Niet bijzonder.

Heller, wenig würziger Beginn. Wässrig, geringe Herbe, dann süßlich, unspektakulär und zu zu viel Alkohol angesichts des Geschmacks. Wenig bis mittelstarke Hopfigkeit. Okay. 8/9/11/8/7/8

Passend süßer, getreidig hellmalziger Beginn. Moderat herb, die Süße bleibt konstant, erkennbar aber nicht störend alkoholisch. Würzig, langer hellmalzig-getreidiger Nachhall. Gut. 11/9/9/10/10/10
