Altbier

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with a light translucent quality. A modest off-white head forms with good initial retention and fine Schaumhaftung down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and steady, characteristic of a traditionally brewed lager-influenced ale.

◌ Aroma

German malts dominate the nose with prominent toasty and caramel notes. Dark fruit esters emerge in the background—subtle hints of plum and raisin. The clean fermentation profile allows the malt character to shine without yeasty or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, malt-forward body that feels vollmundig without heaviness. Toasted grain and caramel sweetness form the core, balanced by a moderate bitterness (32 IBU) that emerges mid-palate and persists gently through the finish. Clean fermentation ensures no off-flavors distract from the malt expression.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a lingering malt sweetness and subtle dry note. The bitterness fades gracefully, leaving a toasty aftertaste that invites another sip.
