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.

Doppelganger (1383) - Dry County, Arkansas, USA - JAN 2, 2009
Bottle, John’s Grocery, Iowa City, Iowa. Very unusual yellow-rusty pour, small white layer of fine head. Mint, candied orange, blood, earth. Fine, salty/dry bitterness, with a woody, old fruitcake finish. Very refreshing, and I dig the dryness, but overall it feels a little bit dull. Maybe a fresher example would have more life.

Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - FEB 14, 2006
I’m pretty sure this is October 2005. Pours a deep amber color with a fairly thick white head. German hops are dominate and compliment an apple like malt aroma. I enjoy the flavor of this beer but it is not incredibly complex. Bitter german hops and a sweet malt backing make this easy to drink and thirst-quenching as water in hell. Solid offering.

guzzler67 (1373) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - MAR 4, 2004
Served from a firkin. Attractive clear copper appearance. Restrained nose; a little on the fruity side. Smooth, malty taste with just enough of a hoppy bite to keep it interesting. Rich, warming finish; could have kept on drinking this all night.

TaxiDriver (1372) - Stadland, GERMANY - DEC 30, 2010
Bottle. A strong smell of bread, malty, quite bitter. The head is small, creamy and light beige with a normal duration. The body is red. A very medical taste, quite bitter. The body is medium strong, dry and creamy with a normal carbonation.

elihapa (1369) - Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - JUN 26, 2009
Bottle, Wurstkuche. Pours amber-brown with a large white head. Aroma is very grassy and herbal, suggesting significant European hops (Saaz, Hallertau) in this brew. Flavor starts with herbs and earthiness upfront, moving nimbly towards a balanced mid-body of malt and dry bitterness. Finish leans dry and semisweet. A solid altbier.

savnac (1365) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - JUN 1, 2011
Bottle. Copper/brown with a creamy light beige head. Aroma is herbal and malty with some caramel and a light metallic scent. The flavor is slightly sweet bready malt with some mild hop bitterness and a bit of a mineral finish. Medium body with average to low carbonation and a soft mouth feel. Pretty good beer for the style, just not my favorite style.

beersearcher (1357) - Glendale, California, USA - OCT 25, 2010
Pours a brown/orange tint. Lots of malt in the aroma. Some sweetness at first. Followed by a grassy malt taste with a touch of bitterness. A bit of a lighter altbier.

Lou18 (1353) - West Paterson, New Jersey, USA - SEP 8, 2005
I liked this bottle as well as the other uerige. This sticke was better then the other. Deep rudy with tan head. Good aroma of dark fruits and caramel. Touch of hop to finisf. Smooth mouth feel and good brew.
