Commercial Description:
Alt meaning "OLD" German style ale, unique to craft brewing only. Red in color, with an even balance of Noble German Hops and Malt. The key is the special yeast which is imported from Dusseldorf Germany

Maybe they have improved this since the last reviews, but I really enjoyed this. It had a nice amber-red look to it with just a ring of head around the glass. Aroma and taste was of caramel malt, possibly Vienna as well, and noble hops. Very well balanced and perfectly carbonated.

Not one of their better beers, mild hop flavor with little to no malt, to thick and almost syrup like consistency, nothing special.

On tap: The aroma consists of moderate caramel and nuts. Transparent amber with a small off-white head. The flavor is pretty simple with moderate caramel and roasted nuts with a mild grassy hopped finish. Easy drinking, but nothing special.

Deep amber in color with a small white head, as served. Rich toasted and caramel malt aroma with a hint of roasted corn nuts in the finish. The flavor is malty with some upfront bitterness and a lingering toffee-like sweetness. The body is okay, nothing noticably exciting or disappointing. This beer is okay to drink, but not one I’d order regularly.

I thought that this Alt was decent, but not great. I just had an Urge Sticht (I know the spelling is way off). Nice color, with a very clear brown. A lot of metallic hops notes. Some maltiness that really makes this a bitter German alt.
