Commercial Description:
Brewed at Heule by breweryhirer 't Alternatief (Izegem).
“ALTERNATIEF “ is een volmout bier van hoge gisting met hergisting in de fles. Dit bier is niet gepasteuriseerd en heeft dus smaakevolutie. De smaak doet denken aan pils maar dan mouterig, voller en hopperig. Het bier is een alternatief voor wie graag een lekker gezond en licht bier drinkt maar niet wil inboeten op smaak en kwaliteit. Het is een zeer goede dorstlesser. De kleur is blond en het bier beschikt over een stevige schuimkraag. Den “ATERNATIEF” is gemaakt van alleen water, mout, 3 soorten hop en gist. Geen andere toevoegingen. Het bier wordt best koel en droog bewaard. Kleur 5 EBC , Bitterheid 28 EBU , 5 vol % alcohol.

(Bottled) Hazy yellow-golden with a huge, gushing head (wonder what’s the matter with Alvinne nowadays). Honey-fruity, quite pleasant aroma with a touch of grassy hops. Familiar, yeasty Alvinne house flavor with pale, honeyish and fruity maltiness, and a hint of acidity. Light to medium body, low carbonation (after gushing). Quite good for the ABV, but they should learn to control the carbonation.

Bottled. Overcarbonated when opened A hazy light golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of spices - especially coriander and orange peal on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of coriander, and the body is thin.

It is hazy, light golden with a huge head, and the foam keeps growing out of the bottle for a very long time. The aroma has notes of yeast with hints of sewer, light fruit and malt. The mouthfeel is very fizzy, rather annoying. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of yeast, dry citrus, other fruits and malt. The finish is dry and slightly bitter with notes of yeast. IMO a bit out of balance.

Bottle, 5.0%. Ashtray aroma. Muddy yellow colour. OK stable white head. The flavour is fruity with some citrus and a bit of old yeast. Not harmonious.
