COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Saluting our continued survival on this planet we decided to go all out with New Glarus Alt. This is a bold and racy toffee laced departure from the typical Dusseldorf style. Enjoy now or if you are the investment type lay it down. At twenty degrees Plato this might be more accurately termed a Triple Alt. The brilliant bronze body was cultivated in a three hour kettle boilof Caramel malts and Raw Turbinado Sugar. Aged on oak in open top fermenters followed by a second round of bottle conditioning. A firm head of foam sweeps brisk hop notes of Syrian Golding and German Hallertau to your nose. A defiant anomaly tenacious and independent this is a flavor experience to relish.

12 oz. bottle shared by shigadeyo. Pours a clear amber color with a large off white head that collapsed quickly. The aroma was sweet malty, caramel, toasted, with hints of fruit and spice. The flavor is again malty with mild sweetness, toasted, lightly spiced and slightly hoppy. Medium bodied, not too bad.

Another NG bottle sent graciously as a trade extra by pantanap! Im stoked on getting to try all these elusive little bastards from New Glarus. Pours cloudy bronze with good carbonation and a thick white head. Kind of a strange aroma of stale grains and old Hallertau hops. Also some notes of buttery toffee and malt. Very sweet flavor profile with some grape and apple fruit tones. Finishes with lots of toffee, caramelized sugar and warming alcohol.

Pours a decent deep copper brown with a finger thick tan head. Nose and flavor is quite a bit of butterscotch and sweet, with a touch of corn husk like graininess.

twindadplus2 (504) - Wisconsin, USA - JAN 30, 2009
Clear copper color with a firm, off-white head. Sweet, sweet aroma with a hint of spice. Deep, warming, dark fruit sweetness with a spicy bitterness lurking in the background. Medium bodied and very smooth on the palate. Long, lingering finish rounds it out nicely.

Distictly German! This toasty amber beer was nice and warm on a winter night. It seemed strong. This site doesn’t even list the alcohol.
