Geschmacklich ist es hopfig, malzig und leicht röstmalzig, leider ist es aber auch ein bisschen wässrig. Die Geschmacksintensivität ist mittelstark. Fazit: Mittelmäßiges Altbier mit etwas mehr Alkohol. Sehr unfreundliches Personal in der Brauerei!

Wässrig-malziger Antrunk. Weiterhin verwässert malzig, auch das Hopfenaroma ist alles andere als kräftig. Leicht herb und leicht malzig ist der Nachgeschmack, wie gesagt, ein mildes Bier. Absolut langweilig und viel zu mild, kann ich nichts mit anfangen! Test vom 25.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,6,6,7,11,6 - 6,90

Draught @ Gleumes Brauerei, Sternstrasse 12-14, Krefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia Germany 47798.

Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, nutty, light roasted. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and light moderate bitter with a average to long duration, caramel - toffee, nutty. Body is medium to light, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20101007]

0.5 l fliptop bought at the Gleumes brewpub in Krefeld on the 27th of March. Pours a dark amber with the usual Alt-styled, fine pored, laceing head on top, the carbonation’s lively. After the beer’s gettin’ warmer, the smell becomes more sensible, so it’s mainly lemony with some hints of caramell. It begins moderate crisp. the taste is sweet(sour), flavour’s citrus-fruity. In the aroma, the citrus/grassy hops rules, then comes some caramell and roasted malt. The finish is citric, spicy and dry which remains in a light roasty/caramell aftertaste. The body is medium, texture’s slick. For me not a "classic" Alt, rather a refreshing kind, and overall nice to taste.

On tap at the brewpub. A clear, copper beer with a dark, off-white head, finger-thick and diminishing, and leaving lacings. Bready, caramel nose with a slight vegetal touch and a whiff of something herbal. Caramel and roasted notes in the mouth, some bitterness and fruits. Blue grapes and apples. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Bitter finish with some caramel. A refreshing and tasteful beer. 091010

Draft in Luethemuehle in Sassenfeld. You can’t find this beer in Belgium, so I was really curious. As other guys said it is a nice Alt beer and worth trying it.

Aug 2005 - My first foray into "altbiers" and I’m not really sure what they "should" be, but this was an enjoyable beer. Thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing growler. Pour was amber, clear with little head and lacing. Nice balance of sweet malt and hops. Taste really came out as it warmed. Smooth for a lager.

Tap at the pub in Krefeld. The best of the range, a copper coloured lagerbier (not sure where the altbier bit comes in). This is a good lagerbier, fresh, clean and with a good malty finish. I liked this, but it is not an altbier, simply a darker than average lagerbier. The fact that it is called Lager suggests that it is bottom fermented which means it cannot be an alt given that alts are top fermented.

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2008 Bottled. Aroma has hints of raisin, caramel and hops but overall not too strong. Amber color, beige fine head, good lace. Light maltsweet start that diminishes quickly, bitter and increasing towards the finish. Well hopped, nice caramel malts, dry finish. Why call it a Lager while it’s topfermented, looks like an alt, tastes like an alt and your located in Alt territory??? Re-rate: hey! Theyve listened to me. The Lager is removed from the label now. :-)

Swing top bottle and appropriate glassware provided by my tasting bud eaglefan538, thanks Brian! Large, rocky, offwhite head delivers excellent retention with blotchy, chunky lace that hangs. Clear copper/amber hued beer. a scenic brew indeed. Dry malty nose, light grassy hop notes, touch bready. Body is light, crisp and a bit grainy. Dry malt flavors, some caramel?, a hint of berries, honey and grain. Finish is almost dry with a clean maltiness. Thanks Bud!!
