COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This full bodied amber ale is modeled after the "altbiers" of Dusseldorf, Germany. Our top fermenting yeast and cold finishing temperature result in a complex, yet clean, full flavor.

Bottle. Pour is a light amber color, that borders on copper, with a small white head that quickly recedes. Aroma contains loads of caramel and grains. Taste is some fruitiness, caramel, grains, and a hint of citrus. Medium bodied, but fairly light flavors make this very easy to drink.

355ml bottle. Nice amber colour. A simple, yet pleasant, beer with a medium caramel sweetness and a touch of hops on the finish. Very sessionable. I found it a little thin on my second bottle.

A - Pours a clear copper-orange color with a half-finger of white head. The head fades down to a thin ring leaving behind some lacing on the glass. S - Aroma is a mix of caramel sweet malts and some citrus hops. There is a bit of light fruits in the background. T - Starts off with some sweet malts and just a hint of citrus hop in the background. A bit of light fruit as well. Through the middle the citrus hops get a bit stronger. The finish is a mix of sweet malts and a bit of citrus hops that lingers a bit. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very smooth and crisp. The finish is very clean. D - Very drinkable. The flavors are a bit light and unremarkable. It does not feel watery or empty, it is felt like it needed a bit more of a kick.

I don’t actually know what an altbier is so I will try my best on this one. It poured a dark orange color with some pine aroma. However, it was sweet with not bitterness. A bit of spice.
