With a goal of celebrating Creemore’s 25th anniversary in a big way, Creemore Brewmaster Gordon Fuller and head brewer Bryan Egan travelled to Düsseldorf in early 2012, to immerse themselves in German brewing culture. Learning trade secrets from the brewers at Zum Schlüssel allowed them to create a unique and special variety of their own Altbier at home in Canada. Follow their journey on our blog.

Creemore Springs Altbier, Special German Brown Ale. 5% alc. IBUs: 24.

The beer is mahogany in colour and the head is beige and quite thick.

Not much aroma but what smell there is can best described malt and brown bread.

The taste is mild. There is malt, brown bread, and a hint of hops.

The beer is light to medium bodied and the finish is kind of wet.

I love brown ales and so this was quite enjoyable, however, one can can find more flavourful choices. Still, this was pleasant and well-made.

Amber with a moderate head and persistent lacing. Toasty malt nose. Malty body with good mouthfeel and crisp carbonation. Easy-going beer, very tasty.

473ml can into nonic pint glass. "J1515" on the bottom edge of the can, which is most likely a canning/production date of sept 15 2015. consumed oct 23 2015

a: carelessly aggressive pour yields four fingers of tan-hued head over a transparent caramel body

s: nuts, toffee, and bread in the nose. malty and appetizing. a hint of floral hops

t: sweet raisins up front that lead to the aforementioned malt flavours. nutty in the mid-palate, floral on the back end. medium-minus bitterness

m: light with medium-minus carbonation

o: a very unspectacular but still pleasant brew

Very, very plain. Looks awesome, though. Nice copper colour and an impressive looking head. After that, no real excitement.

This is a lovely beer. One of my favourite memories of Dusseldorf was visiting a pub in the city's core. We had spent the afternoon watching street performers and headed into a hole in the wall. I clearly remember the barman toting a wooden cask of beer up the stairs from the cellar - our Dutch host explained that we were trying Alt, and I was completely awestruck. I digress... Creemore has come up with a winner here. It is dark, rich, sweet and incredibly smooth. If you can find this beer, I highly recommend you try it!
