The Altbier is light brown with a clean crackery malt flavor followed by a swift hop kick. Alt simply means old in German and it is maned this to signify the old way of making beer. It is served in a traditional style 25cL Alt glass as it is in Düsseldorf. (ABV 5.0% 37 IBU's)

This brew pours a medium brown color and has a pleasant aroma with a crisp hoppy flavor. It has a smooth, dry finish and mild carbonation. Got this one in a beer-of-the-month delivery and don't have any previous experiences with this Denver brewery....I like this one...good but not exceptional.

Brown color, darker than most Alts. Cloudy. Minor head which leaves nearly no lace (some small spots).

Darker malt smell with some raisins in rum notes. Sweet but not overly so--a bit fruity, dried apricot comes to mind.

The flavor starts off with a dark crystal malt flavor that retains the malt (deeply toasted) but without the sweetness I detected in the smell. Light semisweet chocolate in the background. Low, but present, hop bitterness. Short aftertaste. The body is a bit thin, carbonation neutral.

Poured a clear, golden yellow color. It smelled of bready malty with a hint of citrus. Some floral notes, too. Sweet caramel malt with a bread-like malt backbone. It was crisp and sharp.

Got this in a beer of the month club. Pretty solid offering. It pours a dark, rusty brown with a big head that dissapates quickly. The aroma is bready and nutty. Taste is really the same. Feel is low on carbonation. I would drink this again.

I bought a Prost variety pack and my first trial of this beer was unremarkable. No head, minimal lacing, a bit of scum on top. I must have had a dud. The next bottle I had has a head so big it's not fitting into two pints. Smells of bread and graham crackers, the taste is the same with a slight bitterness. Medium carbonation, a richness missing from the first try. Prost, I shouldn't have doubted you.
