Commercial Description:
A rich, reddish-brown German ale as brewed in Dusseldorf. Longer cold maturation mellows the palate. Medium-bodied with a hint of caramel and toastiness and a pleasant, lingering hop finish.

Bottle; orange-amber in color with a huge off white head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, soap and flowers. Flavor was a bit unexpected. Pretty dry; earthy and nutty. A bit on the hoppy side for the style. Nice palate. Very drinkable, albeit a bit strange. Malty with a bit of floral/soapy finish. A pretty solid beer.

One of my other favorite beers at Taps. I happened to try the cask conditioned the night I was there and stuck with the Alt the entire night. Fantastic aroma and great malt flavor. The color and consistency were perfect! The dry finish also made the beer an excellent dinner companion.

Copper colored pour with a thick off white head. Very dry finish on this one. Saaz I believe was written all over this one.
