COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Carnival comes but once a year - and you can only enjoy Sticke beer at Uerige twice a year. It contains more malt and hops and has a higher alcoholic content than normal Altbier. And our guests appreciate it! In earlier days it used to be whispered hand over mouth that Uerige was serving Sticke again because the master brewer had portioned the ingredients too generously. With today's fully-automated operation, this could not happen. So Sticke beer is brewed intentionally - and this certainly doesn't negatively effect either its quality or taste.

The two dates every year are always the same. The third Tuesday in January and October are the two Sticke days.

lassem (631) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUN 3, 2010
Bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. A bottle pretty rare to buy in this area..an in areas that are not Düsseldorph I guess. Very caracteristic long necked bottle with flip top. Looks pretty awsome, and beeing one of the best in its style I kind of havee been looking forward to dick in to this Altbeer. The flip top goes off with a dimp flimp and moisty aroma is filling the air. The por is light brown - dark kobber with a thick off white allmost orange head. The nose is first of all malty but with some notes like of dried fruit like apricots and some orange peel. Some non-fruity hops are present too. The taste is quite huge again with the malty base in focus. There is a long lasting bitter hoppyness that stays way in to the finish. Some spices makes me think of certain danish christmas beers. Cloves, anis and orange-peel and a touch of alcohol. Palate is nice and round with a creamy touch. I am quite surprised that this actually does a decent job. Have been slaming the sparkling cripy fresh altbeers at both uerige and Schlüssel I would expected a downer with the bottled versions...but this is also the sticke versie... a little bit more of everything. Nice

Leighton (3595) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 24, 2010
Tap at Ginger Man. Pours amber with a soft, white head. Nose holds some earthy hops, along with hints of lightly toasted malts. Flavor is mildly sweet, with some caramel malts, along with some hints of fruit and earthiness. Medium in body and well carbonated. Finish is outrageously dry. An interesting - and pretty good - beer.

Strykzone (2906) - Wood River, Illinois, USA - MAY 22, 2010
In bottle at 1904 Brewhouse. Appearance was medium brown with a thin layer of blotchy suds. Nose was nice with pleasant fruit, light roasted effects, and malt. Flavor was pretty much like the aroma. Delightful.
