hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and bitter character as Rheinaufwärts Alt. A top-fermented Altbier in the Rhenish tradition, brewed upriver in Bamberg. The deep chestnut colour comes from a good share of Munich malt and a touch of Carafa Special Type I. Under a beige head the nose shows light banana esters and clove, roasty chocolate and hoppy citrus. Hops and malt are bittersweet and in balance on the palate, with mild chocolate, caramel and cocoa and a fresh note of preserved peach. The finish is dry and pleasantly bitter, as the style demands. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
