Beers similar to BOLTENs Alt

Bolten Brauerei

Altbier·Germany·4.9% ABV·One of 45 Altbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share BOLTENs Alt's malty and full-bodied character. BOLTENs Alt is the beer the whole Bolten range grew from, a classic Lower Rhine Altbier brewed at 11.7 per cent original gravity. Its dark colour comes from a blend of specialty malts rather than colouring malt, while two hop varieties and the brewery's own yeast strain complete the recipe. Expect a smooth, mild beer with a subtle sweetness and a slender body that fills out with each sip, bringing roasted notes and a fine hop touch that never turns harsh.
