COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Hailing from the industrial city of Düsseldorf, "Alt" (the German word for "old") uses the old method of brewing. An exceptionally smooth and delicate brew is accomplished by utilizing ale yeast and maturing it in a lager cellar. It has a dark amber color and a good bitterness to balance the malty body. This beer is extremely drinkable and because it is unlike the lager beers that Penn Brewery traditionally produces, it is like our alter ego.

$2.25 for a small eight ounce glass. A little more golden than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager beer, but just as clear. Aroma is rather candy like. Nice thick white head that does not fade. Taste is rather friendly, lacking any hop bitter bite but has enough personality to let you know this you are drinken German style beer. Good tingly carbonation for a tap. Finish os mildly bitter and hangs for a while. Rather enjoyable, just what I was expecting for an alt. Nice beer from Penn. Only available on tap at the brewery.
