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.

I’ve had countless bottles of this and was quite impressed when first released. It has a nice oaken flavor atop a deep sweet brown sugar and heavily caramelized malts. Pours to a deep rusty brown body with a thin tan head. The beer is quite a nice beer from a lowly produced style.
