Frankenheim Alt

Brewed by Privatbrauerei Frankenheim (Warsteiner)
Style: Altbier
Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

On draught: Dark amber and almost brown looking with no head at all. Earthy aroma to it with a slight malt fragrance. Very thin and reminded me of a Pils only darker. Beer was served so cold I really couldn't seek out its flavors all that well but nothing really stuck out as to flavor with the exception of some malt presence.

watered down, old tasting beer. maybe a fresher example would have been better, but untill i have it this brand is bad.

Bascially right down the middle. Nothing jumped out at me and said "Drink Me!" Poured somewhat cloudy, and settled to a golden color with a sizable white head, almost like the picture, despite what Austinpowers says. I may have detected some citrus notes in the aroma, but I am not sure. Rather bitter, and a decent finish. Good, but middle of the road.

Very nice mahogany appearance. Decent head. Roasted malt aroma carried over to the taste. Dry, bitter and slightly nutty on the palate. Don't get too many German ales, so it's hard to find something to compare it to, so I just enjoyed its uniqueness.

Has a dark brown color with moderate carbonation and a sweet malt smell. Taste is slightly sweet and finishes with a little bitterness. Overall it is not malty enough for me as I like a smooth malt flavor in my alt beers, but it is not bad.

Translucent brown color, tan head. Floral nutty nose. Has an up front musty malty taste. Somewhat bitter at the finish. On the thin side.

Dark brown and clear. Mild carbonation. Molasses-like sweetness up front becomes curiously sour. Roasty finish and a mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Earthy malts. Not bad, but not overly interesting either.

Dark bronze colour. Nice thin creamy head and lacing. Not unpleasant hop aroma similar to aged grass clippings. Slighty sour at the start and moreso at the finish. Very similar to an above average brown.
