Commercial Description:
Saluting our continued survival on this planet we decided to go all out with New Glarus Alt. This is a bold and racy toffee laced departure from the typical Dusseldorf style. Enjoy now or if you are the investment type lay it down. At twenty degrees Plato this might be more accurately termed a Triple Alt. The brilliant bronze body was cultivated in a three hour kettle boilof Caramel malts and Raw Turbinado Sugar. Aged on oak in open top fermenters followed by a second round of bottle conditioning. A firm head of foam sweeps brisk hop notes of Syrian Golding and German Hallertau to your nose. A defiant anomaly tenacious and independent this is a flavor experience to relish.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber, small off-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel and vague sugar notes. Sweet bread, malt and caramel notes for the flavor profile, touch of hops. Semi dry finish.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of nutmeg and other spices as well as medium notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks CaptainCougar for coming to Denmark and sharing this.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark amber. Aroma is predominantly bread and caramel with faint earthy hops. Taste is crisp and fruity with a yeast finish. Weird acetone-like aftertaste is a big detriment, however. Mouthfeel is light and effervescent. Good, but almost great.
