Bottled. Clear amber colour. Medium foamy head. Cookie malt aroma with caramelly notes and slight hints of vegetables. Malty, slightly sweet and caramelly in the beginning. but changing soon to hoppiness, but leaves a somewhat malty aftertaste. Quite okay for a cheap alt. But not necessarily great.

Dieses Alt kommt in einer ziemlich schlichten Flasche zu mir. Für ein Alt hat es eine ordentliche Schaumkrone. Geschmacklich ist es hopfig-bitter und säuerlich-malzig. Der Nachgeschmack wird zum Schluss ziemlich bitter. Nein dies ist kein top Altbier aber wenn es mir angeboten würde, würde ich es trinken. Fazit: Noch trinkbar, für ein Billigalt ok. Test vom 20.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,8,6,7,7,8 - 7,80

(bottle) An Alt, formerly brewed in Münster. Clear, dark amber colour with a mid-sized, light-beige foamy head. Slightly sweet and a bit dusty toast-malty nose with traces of caramel and very faint fruity notes when it warms, accompanied by shy herbal hops. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toast-malty, slightly caramelly taste with minimal fruity accents; moderately dry and light-bitter finish with unpleasant metallic hops. Mediocre at best (18.03.08).

Bottle: clear, chestnut-amber coloured, quickly vanishing off-white head; faint traces of caramelly dark malt in the toasted and slightly sourish nose; mild sweet-bitter flavour, very light bodied; short bitter-sweetish finish with a metallic touch. A cheap brew, but drinkable.......
