3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Insgesamt sehr hopfenbetontes Alt in einer rustikalen Flasche.
Malziger Geruch mit leichten Kaffeenoten im Hintergrund. Auf der Zunge halten sich Malz und Hopfenbittere schön die Waage.
Ein ausdruckstarkes Alt. Kräftiger Körper.Test vom 7.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at ChurchKey. Served in a mini snifter.
Pour is a caramel-colored liquid that is mostly clear. Thin off-white head and a bit of lacing. Nose brings a good amount of light bread and earthy hops. Nothing too complex; perhaps a bit of very light fruit. Flavor is similarly restrained with some bread and then not too much else. However, the hops coke through in the finish for a good bitterness. Light body and good carbonation. Good, but nowhere near the Sticke or, especially, the Doppelsticke.

330 ml swing-top bottle with a cool shape from The Royale. Bottled 1/11. Pours a hazy brownish-amber color with an inch-thick, rocky off-white head. Aroma of big toasty malts, nuts, earth, wheat, and sweet dough. Flavor of rich, sweet bread and dough, wheat, nuts, and earth. Medium-bodied, with a malty mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Really nice traditional but big German altbier.

This is my first altbier. Though not my usual thing, I would definitely drink this if it was around. Tickly on the tongue! While not overwhelming, it definitely had enough going on in every department.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Deep copper brown colour. Aroma is fairly malty for a Altbier. Taste successfully combines fruity and malty elements to a refreshing body, which is characteristic of the best altbier brews. There are plenty of caramel flavours in the aftertaste.

Bottle 50 cl. Deep red/amber, clear with a large offwhite frothy head. Fruites and sweet malts dominates this beer. Nice and sweet taset with a light bitter end. GOod. Dusseldorf 22.06.2011
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Die schlichte Flasche wirkt edel, die Krone präsentiert sich haltbar. Auch wenn ein malziges Aroma klar zu erkennen ist steht bei diesem Alt ein herb-bitteres Aroma im Vordergrund. Das vollmundige Alt hat im Agang außer dem stabilen udn lang anhaltenden bitter-malzigen Aroma noch eine gewisse Kernigkeit zu bieten, was das Bier aber nicht unbedingt süffiger macht. Man sitzt an einem Glas Uerige wohl deutlich länger als bei vielen anderen Altbieren, was aber nichts negatives ist.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Good head and nice amber cloudy body. Not sure if this was a bad bottle or not, but the taste is very sour. Very light on the palate and a bit watery.
