Schwelmer Alt

Brewed by Brauerei Schwelm
Style: Altbier
Schwelm, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Average beige creamy head that mostly diminished. Spare lacework. Clear sparkling body with a pale brown colour. Aroma of grain, toasted malt, surprisingly hoppy for a German Altbier. Over the palate came mild grain, watery brown sugar and hint of fruit and floral notes. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour with light bitter notes. Sweet toasted malty finish.

I liked this beer. drank very easy. My second tasting of this brand. Poured dark deep brown. tasted very nice, but the low alcohol content was a killer for this rating

This is a style of beer that is not often tried. I liked this beer and would like to try more in this style.

.5L swing top. Clear deep mahogany with rocky white head that has moderate persistance. Sweet malt aroma with an almost citrusy/floral overtone, and hint of german hops. Light roast malt flavor with honey, a bit of hop flavor, and moderate hop bitterness. Medium/light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Nice very clean finish. I think would make a great session beer.

pours very deep amber with little to no head. smells malty with large doses of date and a little raisin. drinks very easily with a very clean finish. a great dark summer quaff!!

Bottle. Clear red-brown small mostly diminishing beige creamish head. Aroma of caramel, roasty malt. The flavour is a bit sweet with some bitter hops, caramel, roasty malt and some bread.

Bottle @ Yespr tasting.
[thank you, Yespr]
Pours a very pretty reddish brown with a thin fizzy head that soon disappears. Aroma is heavy rye bread, caramel and light dried fruits. Lively mouthfeel, leaning towards fizzy. Flavour is lightly sweet, not that powerful at first, but the aftertaste is well-balanced roasted caramel and rye bread flavours. Medium in sweetness.
