Tap to rate

Alt-Bamberg Urstoff is a bottom-fermented pale lager from the Braumanufactur Alt-Bamberg brand, brewed to 12.5 percent original gravity with a share of caramel malt and fermented slowly at cool temperatures. It pours a bright light gold under a fine, stable head. The nose is fresh and grainy, with barley malt and a light biscuit note. The palate stays soft and round, with clear malt sweetness, cereal flavours and a mild bitterness in the finish.
