COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
DIEBELS Alt is brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516. Under this "Reinheitsgebot", only four ingredients are allowed: Barley malts, hops, yeast, and water. The dark-roasted special malt lends DIEBELS its unmistakable amber glow.

Dark and Delicious. For a dark, flavorful beer, DIEBELS is surprisingly light and drinkable - a beer you can enjoy all night long. It isn't bitter like many ales, and it doesn't have the strong aftertaste of certain imports.

IslandHaole (1053) - Yokosuka-Shi, Kanagawa-Ken, JAPAN - SEP 12, 2005

Clear Copper color with a small off-white head. Smells like slightly burned toast with Apple butter. Caramel with floral hops. Mild bitter follow. Not bad. I need to try more Altbiers, I’ve enjoyed the ones that I’ve had so far. A bit too carbonated to make a good session brew.

blatz (138) - Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Florida, USA - AUG 28, 2005

Very crystal clear coppery tone. Nice frothy head that etched up over the glass. Sweet nice tasting alt, easily drinkable, but not very memorable as the taste was unassertive. A good "party beer" if that’s your think. I’d rather have Alaskan Amber (an Alt as well) when I look for alt. Good beer tho. Cheers!

beerinmarch (2830) - Washington, USA - AUG 27, 2005

Sampled at the Portland International Beer Fest 2005. Pours clear copper with a smooth white head. Malts kinda had a cereal taste, kinda reminded me of frosted flakes. Very smooth body, very light weight on the palate and finishes a touch sweet.

This brew poured a medium copper color with a nice thick head and little moderate lacing. Nice smooth flavor with hints of caramel. Tried this in Germany. Good stuff.
