Commercial Description:
The German Altbier style is treasured amongst brewers around the world, and we love turning out our take on it now and again. Our Alt is copper in color with a rounded maltiness that reflects the large amounts of Pilsner and Munich malts used in our recipe. Subtle sweetness comes from a small dose of German Caramel malt. Noble hops add a firm bitterness that balances the malt. Its rich, complex flavor and surprising potency are a nod to the "Sticke" or "Secret" Alts of Dusseldorf's brewpubs which are specialties made to salute their loyal regulars. It's Beer Uber Alles!

Krueger’s Alt, on tap at ROB. Brown body with a thin buff head. Earthy, caramely nose. Sweet body, toasty and leafy, with heavy emphasis on brown sugar notes. Not enough earthiness or bitterness to pierce the sugars.

Tap: light amber with no head. Lots of caramel in aroma and flavor. Tiny hop presence in finish. Very clean easy drinking beer.

Red amber, with a thinnish white head which lasted despite being smaller in size. Large nose, mostly fruity hops, pine balanced out well an equally large malt nose. Sweet and slightly bitter flavors mixed well together, caramel malts, light hops, sugar sweetness rounded out the flavors. Lacing left let me know where each sip started and ended.

Tap. Reddish amber colored. Nice retentive white head and fair lacing. Malty aroma with a bit of hop balance on the nose. Sweetish notes of caramel seem to predominate the nose. Clean tasting, malt stands out with caramel and honey flavors. Decent.
