JasonG (700), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Feb 6, 2005 Clear, dark amber color with medium sized tan head. Aroma has roasted malt, caramel, maple. Flavor is slightly bitter, creamy. A good, solid alt, but nothing amazing
desurfer (1067), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA Feb 3, 2005 Pours a clear dark amber with a pillowy tan head. Aroma of smoky malt and a bit of hops. Flavor is surprisingly watery, with some caramel maltiness and German hops in the background. Tastes much less than 6.5%. Finishes sweet and moderately dry. matta (1137), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 2, 2005 I was very excited to see this beer on the shelf the other day! Late last spring I picked up a bottle of the regular Uerige Alt and man, I loved the stuff! It was pretty pricey, as was this at $4.45 a bottle but man it’s freaking tasty! I was told that the Florida only got 14 cases for the entire state, and one of my local homebrew shops bought up 5 of those, which should last another couple of weeks.
Pours a dark copper body with a bountiful light tan head. The aroma and flavor offer a full dose of caramel malt and certainly a heap of pilsner malt. Slightly toasty, toffee notes, toasted wheat bread similarities. The hops are very refined.. I think they are more present in the aroma and then again in the lingering finish than anything else. Nice oaky woodsy suggestions. - Man.. Something just made me think about an old girlfriend I had many years ago… Every time I think of oak like flavors I always think of her for some odd reason. Maybe because we did a lot of camping and drinking beer around the camp fire…. I’m a strange dude aren’t I! - Anyway, The finish this a delicate inter-tangled combo of toasted malt and dry tarty hops. Now this is a beer I could drink year round and enjoy each and every drop of without ever feeling routine. szkot (100), Minnesota, USA Jan 31, 2005 A good alt. Pours brown with a generous head. Taste is well balanced between malt and hop. Light bodied. jtw (942), farmington, Michigan, USA Jan 31, 2005 dark amber color with an egg-white head. some floral grassy hops, which is surprising from a dark beer. however, there is a bigger malt presence in the flavor, along with some caramel, cinnamon and spice. plus it comes in a cool bottle. really a textbook example of the style. dortmunder (961), Herdecke, Germany Jan 18, 2005 Updated: Jan 19, 2005Draught. Clear, dark copper colour. Foamy, lacey head. Caramelly, slightly spicy nose. The taste is roastmalty, slightly sweet. Hints of vanilla. Ends in a spicy, bitter finish, which is quite lasting. Smooth mouthfeel, creamy texture. I absolutely love this beer. ChrisPants (317), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jan 3, 2005 Pours lightish redbrown with some head that disperses within a minute. Malty light caramel notes, finishes sharp hoppy. Above average, not wildly impressive. I would try again. Enjoyed chilled from bottle, poured into glass. SubstanceT (1090), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA Dec 22, 2004 Light amber colour with a thin head. Nose is malty and creamy, same for the taste. Sweet in the back and fairly round overall. Not bad, drinkable, thats a plus
