Wrecking Bar Brewpub "ALTlanta Altbier"
16 fl. oz. can, "Canned: 2.20" and sampled on 03.07.2026
Notes via stream of consciousness: It's poured a somewhat hazy brown body with ruby highlights beneath a finger's width of off-white foam. The aroma is clean with some grainy, grassy, and lightly caramelish malt. The flavor follows. It's lightly sweetish and caramelish upfront with a suggestion of chocolate, followed by some grassy and herbal hops across the middle, and then mainly dry in the finish with a firm bitterness of around 25-30 IBUs. In the mouth it's medium bodied and gently crisp leaving it smooth once it's warmed on the tongue. Altbiers don't normally stun anyone, they're simply meant to be drinkable everyday beers, and this one follows that route. It's not complex, it's not overly hoppy, and it's nicely balanced. Well done.

On tap at the Decatur Beer Fest where it is listed as Altlanta - a name too good to be wrong.
Clear brown body topped by a good white head that leaves more lacing than expected.
Flavorful and excellent for style, although this could pass for a rich and rather hoppy brown ale.
About equal hop-malt balance.
Overall: recommended.

Appearance: Lightly hazed, dark golden-amber body with a fourth-of-an-inch, dusty, off-white head.
Smell: Sugar-encrusted toast, moderately grainy backed by modest, light notes smelling of dried herbs, fruit skins.
Taste: Water-soaked toast with a sliver of fastly departing sweetiness. Lightly fruity, with hints of apple and grapeskin. Grainy note, a bit husky, even, with a bit of astringency leeching into the flavor. Lightly herbal hops, medium-light bitterness, though, it's more than enough to temper the sweetness at hand. Finishes dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: It's altright.
