Uerige Alt

Brewed by Uerige Obergärige Hausbrauerei
Style: Altbier
Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

deep bourbon color, slight off-white head, some lacing. earthy, musty nose. mildly provacative flavor, as in i am provoked that i am not drinking a more interesting beer. medium body, weirdly bitter finish. don’t understand this one; not very interesting or exciting.

Deep auburn pour with a persistent head. Dry yet rich flavor. Fairly bitter aftertaste.

Uerige Alt pours a cloudy dark brown with a rocky, two-finger off-white head. It contains a good bit of carbonation that will last through the whole beverage. The aroma given off by this Altbier hops and yeast, smells like a loaf of bread. Has a long lasting bitter hops flavor. You also have roasted malts and maybe some caramel/toffee flavor. Pretty impressive beer, I might revisit down the road.

Appearance: Brown. Not much head. More when warm. Aroma: Hops and fruit. Malt. Taste: Very hopsy and bitter. Malt. Very long, bitter aftertaste. Info: 500ml bottle, 12/8-2006, 145/300, 77/500

11.2 oz bottle from Sam’s Wine (South Loop, Chicago, IL). Pours a very dark cloudy copper with a nice off white bubbly head that sticks around and laces a bit. Aromas are floral, light european hops with some lemony notes and some hints of bready dough. Initial taste is bitter, skunky malt and noble hops dominant with a bitter floral hoppiness and the very pleasant malt. Very nice. Medium bodied and refreshing yet bitter. Doughy bready yeastiness yet still hoppy and bitter. Yum. A nice brew and I’m sure it didn’t travel well leaving a re-rate pending if I can catch some fresh stuff.

A little too tart on the palate, but otherwise I am enjoying the slight smokey hoppy finish and bitter flavor.

beautiful brown amber body, healthy cream head, sweet sharp munich aroma, smooth mild hop bitters, great beer but severely over priced in my opinion (but i’m a cheap, poor college student)

500ml fliptop bottle: poured orange/brown with a nice thick tan head. Yeasty, bread dough aroma. Slight hops. Lightly carbonated. Bitter hops dominate this beer with just a bit of nuttiness and caramel. Quite a bitter finish. Good.
