bobinlondon (1147) - Harrow, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 30, 2009
Gravity from the wood at brewery and the Altstadt tied house. Pale copper with an off white head. The lightest of the local Alts but just as flavoursome. All the roundedness of a well lagered german beer with the fruitiness of an ale and good fresh ascertive hoppage. An amazing session beer and never to be rated on a sip.

Honey grassy aroma, nice sweet honey malts with a lot of noble hoppy grassy aromas. Pours golden amber with a thin white head. Very nicely balanced, caramel malts with loads of grassy hop bitterness, with hints of a nutty flavor as well. very earthy hop flavor. A great Altbier!!!!!

draught at the brewery outlet in Düsseldorf Altstadt - clear copper coloured with a solid persistent beige foam; earthy and nutty aroma, fairly hoppy; respectable malt body and a robust bitterness; long earthy nutty finish, flowery with notes of caramel - wonderful and still deeply enjoyable after many glasses
