BOLTENs Ur-Alt
BOLTENs Ur-Alt was first brewed in 1991, when the brewery set out to make an Altbier that tasted different from its flagship. The answer was to skip filtration: the beer leaves the brewhouse as it is, naturally cloudy and fermented with selected pure-culture yeasts, and Bolten holds that this keeps flavour a filter would strip out. It shows light roasted notes with a hint of dark chocolate, a fruity character and a gentle hop bitterness.
