Alcatraz Alt

Formerly brewed at Alcatraz Brewing Company
Style: Altbier
Indianapolis, Indiana USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Crystal clear, dark reddish brown pour, a one-finger, off-white head, a nice crisp, balanced nose -- cereal and some grassy hoppiness. Flavor is about typical for a good alt; toasty, bready, a bit sweet from chocolate and fruitiness. Good, clean finish. I enjoyed this beer immensely.
