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

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Drank from a pint glass. This is my first altbier, so I really didn’t know what to expect. It poured with a healthy white head with a good amount of lacing. It was brown with good clarity. Head didn’t linger forever though...ready to drink quickly. Aroma is kind of straw with pine taste that finishes a little bitter with a light alcohol taste. All in all, an average beer.

Brown colour with a small white head. light sweet malty nutty aroma and a light roasted dry bitter taste. Light body and a light dry finish.

Chestnut color with a beige head. The taste is a sweet malty light nutty body with a rather thin and boring finish.

Dark amber colour with off white head. Malty aroma with some sweetness. Flavor is malty with hints of yeast and a bit of sourness.

copper colored no head to speak of (bottled) decent taste little malty and nutty think ill pass next time not my thing

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2005 This pours a dark/medium brown that is transparent around the edges. The head is small and diminishing. The nose is very much of dirty cranberries. This beer is more malty than hoppy, and there’s just a bit of bitterness and dryness that lingers on the palate. The tastes are somewhat of caramel, grains, and perhaps roasted nuts and plumbs. These are all dirty and musky tastes. This is only a decent brew overall, but I know little of the style.

Red orange color, thin head, very little lacing. This beer has the aroma of honey, clover, and something metalic.

Clear brown pour with a nice creamy head. Light malt aroma. Flavor is a little hoppy with malt and caramel notes, nutty with a slightly bitter finish. Nothing spectacular here, but its pleasant and has a good flavor. Says German Brown Ale on the label and thats what it tastes like.. a brown ale. My first Alt so I dont have much to go on. Fairly good.
