Common descriptors are
Hailing from the industrial city of Düsseldorf, "Alt" (the German word for "old") uses the old method of brewing. An exceptionally smooth and delicate brew is accomplished by utilizing ale yeast and maturing it in a lager cellar. It has a dark amber color and a good bitterness to balance the malty body. This beer is extremely drinkable and because it is unlike the lager beers that Penn Brewery traditionally produces, it is like our alter ego.
