A good Altbier from Cerveceria Primus in Mexico City brewed by the Andreu Cousins.
Color: Deep amber copper with medium head retention and medium lace. Pours good in the glass.
Aroma: Good aromas of fresh yeast, malts and hops
Taste: Sweet malts and good balance of hops. Nice amount of alcohol for the style
Finish: Dry finish with bitter aftertaste.

We tried this beer out west and loved it! It is sweeter than many beers, which I like. I prefer the sweeter wines (Rieslings/Desert Wines). I cannot stand bitter beer. This is nice and smooth. The color is pretty too. Too bad we cannot get it in the Southeast.

Amber copper color with a good off-white head with decent retention and leaving laces.
Predominant malty aroma with notes of caramels and biscuits.
Flavor with notes of wood, earthy and herbal hops, spices, caramels and some prunes. Dry aftertaste with a nice bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Well balanced Altbier, though it could have more depth in flavors and more body. Let me try now their tune-up version.

Tempus alt pours a nice brown into the glass, with a short lived foam. Classy looks indeed. Tempus recommends serving between 7-11º C. You certainly don't want it too cold, and from my experience, it doesn't hurt to let it warm a little.
Smell is a bit flat, yet far from discrete, with malts and a bit of veggies in there.
The taste is wonderful; smooth, woody, meaty taste in general with the rather perfect amount and flavor of hops. It has that "aged" character.
It's medium bodied, not thin enough to be called "thin". Quite drinkable and palatable. Easy to mix with a variety of foods.
Mexican beers can be good, so-so or terrible. But this (and the imperial variant) are exceptional. My personal congratulations to the brewery - this is highly recommended.
