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.

Chestnut colour with a normal looking white head. Aroma of wood, as well as some munich malt sweetness and other wort notes. Smooth, medium bodied, dry and fairly griany and raw tasting, not many hops have gone into this one. Clean finish. enjoyable enough.

Palate: Body is medium, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is highly astringent and lightly alcoholic.

(bottle) clear copper-brown colour, off-white stable head. aroma is a faint blend of hay, earth, pale malts, a light hop fragrance and a bit of skunk. flavour also has little to offer, with faint hints of roasted coffee, caramel, earth and bread dough. medium carbonation, light to medium body, bitter finish. bland.

on tap - brown beer with a thick beige head. Some sweet aroma. Flavour: Little bit of maltiness and sweetness. Little bit boring.

Long, smooth notes of solid bitter hopping rounded by pale fruit malty structure. Both refreshing and satisfying. Klasse!!
