Draught at the brewpub. Green hoppy aroma with toasted and nutty malt notes and a strange but enjoyable presence of mango notes. Nice velvety carbo and a worthwhile finish - light bitter, ight fruity, very nutty. Altogether a tad too dry but enjoyable nonetheless.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear bronze colour, small head. Mildly roasty. Dry with light body. Somewhat fruity with some earthiness. Lightly ashy with some caramel. Mild ashy bitterness.

Draft at the brewpub in Krefeld, mainly driven by my interest in the semantics of "top-fermented lager beer." Lovely bright brown-amber beer, maltier in the nose than the flavor, which has some light toasted sweetness. Releases a bit of fruit when swirled, which I find reassuringly unpolished. Nicely rough, dry bitterness, very light sweetness, light bitter aftertaste. High on character and drinkability so scores well with me.

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

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.
