Frankenheim Alt

Brewed by Privatbrauerei Frankenheim (Warsteiner)
Style: Altbier
Düsseldorf, Germany

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

A cola brown altbier. Lots of carbonation from the bottle. Had a menthol flavor upfront and I’m not sure that I ever got over that. Did seem to get a little bit better, though, as I got towards the bottom.

Bottle: Clear amber, edging on a darker copper. Short white head. Caramel notes in the nose, along with some subdued fruit. Similar flavour, very clean though. Touch of roast. Quite tasty and refreshing.

[bottle from magic_dave6] Aroma is caramel malt, slight roasted quality, faint citric note. smooth body, very light sweetness upfront, followed by a touch of bitterness.

This looked like it came from a wooden cask. However iv noticed someplaces have a keg wrapped in wood. Aroma is lightly bready malts. Taste has bread maybe honey and not too much bittering hops, however a little bland from all fronts.

dark amber color, foamy thick head, less taste, a slice of bitter, but overal very boring.

This beer has a amber body - hue apperance and a fine white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a not much carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is sweet with a light bitter afther tast.

Bottle, from York Beer Shop. Copper bronze, good lasting white head and moderate condition. Low fruity caramel aromas, full bodied and malty in the mouth with caramel and burnt toffee offset by a little citric grapefruity hop note. Gentle roast barley and caramel in the finish balanced by a prickle of hop bitterness.

Bottle: Amber coloured with reddish tints, medium sized, quite stable fluffy off-white head; fruity-malty-caramelly nose with a tinge of molasses; mild sweetish-malty flavour with an illusion of roasted malt; slightly sweet-malty finish with a moderate bitter aftertaste: Drinkable, but pretty bland and boring, in comparison to the Düsseldorf micros.......
