Somewhat flabby Altbier with not much bitterness to recommend it. On tap at the Frankenheim pub in Dusseldorf. Poured a classic copper-brown with thin off-white head. Malty, sourdough nose. Flavor was lightly sweet, quite malty, going into a bready sourness, very thin layer of bitterness. Refreshing but I would have preferred a hoppier kick.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was a nice brown ale.

Dark amber with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with caramel and toasted malt. Sweet flavor with brewing cereal, caramel bread and hoppy notes. Ends sweet and light bitter.
