Commercial Description:
Copper-colored and hoppy, this beer is most easily compared to a German form of a pale ale. Popular around Dusseldorf, the name means simply “old” and recalls a time before Germany made primarily lagers. This beer features a high bitterness and aroma characteristic of generous additions of hops to the brew.

Large creamy off-white, maybe tan, head with excellent lacing, copper colored.... falvor long in duration, thin texture, balanced taste of sweet and hops near the end, mild fruit aromas.. at Herkimer Pub & Brewey... not nearly as hoppy as the description indicates

Burnt orange in color. Smelled sweetly hoppy. The taste was fairly metallic but with some malty sweetness. Okay, but boring. I’ve had better alts before and surely will again.

Copper red pour. Graham cracker scents and well as diecytal. Some caramel flavor, but this is not very well done. Normally I’ve had good luck with this style, not so here.

Sampled at ABR 07 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a clear coppery amber (slightly lighter than the oktoberfest) with a thin and good retaining off-white head that has some good lacing. Aroma of dry multi-grain malt, some grassy hops and a touch of dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with a dry multi-grained biscuity malt flavor. Finish is slightly gritty, dry with a grassy hop and grain malt aftertaste.

ABR 2007. Malty nose. Light copper color. Dry hop finish follows a lightly malt flavored body.
