Lindeboom Venloosch Alt

Brewed by Lindeboom Bierbrouwerij
Style: Altbier
Neer, Netherlands

Medium frothy head a brown pour,aroma earthy caramel toffee honey,flavour caramel honey earthy a bitter taste,sweetness of honey and caramel seem to be the main two flavours,finsh fairly even malt and hop but not an appealing taste,no thanks.

Red amber beer. Tastes somewhere in between Palm and a regular pilsener. Looks don’t match with the taste.

Reddy amber body that poured a good head but didn’t stay around at all. Light caramel in the taste, pleasant bitterness, good carbonation and clean. Just seems a little thin but didn’t mind this one, wasn’t great but easily drinkable.

Medium amber-tinted head over deep amber-copper beer. Sweet malts & molasses, smelling like Brussels’ waffles, and leafy. Smells more like a (sweet) Bock than as an Alt. Bitterish-leafy taste, much better balanced than the nose, very little sweetness left. Faintly roasted & metallicfinish, but epithomizes leafiness as flavour. Then, warming up, it acquires a coriander flavour... Medium bodied, quite slick; finish is a bit watery (as well as metallic). Very peculiar Alt. But I confess as to liking the flavourprofile. Until it warmed up. Now, for a real Düsseldorfer...

Tap at Heffer, Amsterdam: Brown coloured Dutch Alt with an slightly roasty taste and sweet bitter finish.

On tap at Twee Prinsen. Very bitter tasting. Big headed. Sweet and lemon hoppy.

30 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange to amber with a huge off-white head. Fruity and mild teaish hoppy aroma. Fruity flavoured with a mild malty base. Yet dominant teaish hoppy. Light citric touch and mild bitter finish.

Malty sweet aroma. Quite fruity taste as well as parfume smell - peach, banana, orange. Roasted caramel, woody taste. Not much hops detectable but is little herbal bitter. Medium carbonated. Bit metallic taste. Dark copper color.
