Altbier
Prost Brewing Co. - Denver

 

 

 

A- medium brown color with mahogany highlights. Less than a one finger head with no lacing.

S- german style malts with hints of raisins

F- floral notes with hints of raisin and plum.

M- sweet and medium bodied. Fairly smooth as well.

O- not a bad beer. the malt is there but not overpowering and it is sweet.

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.
