Heh, Grolsch-top bottle with a boring label. Dark reddish brown color with a nice malty aroma. The flavor was malty blending into hoppy.

(330 ml swing-top bottle: $3.69 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) While not as impressive looking as the regular Uerige Alt, this one is far more tasty, so I’ll gladly take that trade-off. Malty, sweet, a bit earthy, only slightly bitter, and showing a pleasant nuttiness and a good bit of smokiness in the finish, this is reminding me of a really malty English ale. The aromatic nose is malty, earthy and a bit smoky. Medium in body and lightly carbonated, this goes down all too easy. Light brown in color, just a shade darker than the Uerige Alt, and slightly hazy in appearance. Very little actual head develops during or after the pour, just a sheen actually, but there are clumps of large bubbles that form during the pour. So, not much of a looker, but this is delicious. It’s a beer I just can’t help but continuously take small sips, just to keep constantly replentishing that tasty flavor on my tongue.

Pours deep clear bronze with a thick, off-white head. Bread, caramel and grassy hops in the nose. Nice foundation of heavy caramel, toffee, then comes a little pear followed by a prominent noble hop presence. Bitter hop finish which lingers for awhile. Bold and flavorful. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and subtle carbonation. Overall, pretty enjoyable.

Pours red with a very small white head. Toasted malt and brown sugar aroma, with a touch of almonds. The toasted malt is found in the flavor behind some diacetyl. A light herbal hoppiness rounds out the taste. Good stuff.

Hoppy finish.

Dark red with some bits in solution and a nice beige head. Quality German caramel malt and floral hop aroma with notes of brown bread and raisin. A little tart and a bit thin. The flavor is not as good as the aroma would suggest. It has noticeable hop flavor and bitterness. Not bad but I fear it has not traveled well.
