Lindeboom Venloosch Alt

On tap at De Deugniet Café, Amsterdam.
Clear amber coloured, small off-white head, pleasant fruity nose. A way too sweet malty, faint fruity and metallic taste, hard to get any hops here. Moderate bitter finish. Big failure...or I’m wrong???

Bottle. Brown/amber colour, white head. Sweet, malty and lager like altbier, slightly bitter finish.

330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Clear mahogany colour, brief head. Initial aroma, when cold, was a bit lagery. As it warms it becomes sweeter and fruity, with just a hint of walnut. Surprising taste, but first I’ll mention the pleasant carbonation in the mouth, and comment that the body’s perhaps a little thin. Apple and peach esters accompany the sweet malty taste, but at the back of the tongue there’s a pleasant dry nuttiness and a sharp and spiky bitterness. Switling it around the mouth brings out lots more flavours, it’s woody and perfumy too. The nuttiness and spiky hops stay for the moderate-length finish. Burps nicely!

Draft at bar on Singel, Amsterdam. Pours a clear brown, medium beige head that laces nice. Light malt aroma. Flavor is sweet with a lingering bitter finish on the palate. Thin body.

Bottle 33 cl. Purs a clear reddish brown with a tiny head and a thin malty, slightly fruity aroma. The flavor is very malty and somehow it feels like tasting a very thin and unimpressive stout. Nice hoppy finish. Nothing special in here
