Commercial Description:
Buzzards Bay Brewing's Alt is the South Coast's take on a German classic. Brewed with copious amounts of German malts and hops, our Alt is a well-balanced copper hued old-world ale. Like all Alts, ours toes the line between two worlds. It's brewed with an ale yeast, but it is treated like a lager. It is fermented and cellared at a colder temperature, for a longer time than most ales. The result is a clean, drinkable beer with a very light and warming estery aroma that accents the earthy Hallertau hops added late in the boil. We hope you enjoy our Alt as the weather turns colder. Cheers and prosit!

This brew just doesn’t appeal. It seems pushy and alcoholic and is unpleasantly cloying. There’s an attempt at maltiness but the mouthfeel is soapy and sweet. Not a lot of redeeming qualities - my least favorite brew from the guys at Buzzards Bay ever.
