Füchschen Alt
Füchschen Alt is the house beer of the Ratinger Straße brewery and has carried its name since 1848. It is top-fermented in open vessels with the brewery's own yeast strain, several specialty malts, aroma hops and Düsseldorf water, and pours a clear copper-red. Malt leads the flavour with light caramel, toasted bread crust and a fine roasted edge, while a spicy, firm bitterness keeps the finish dry and brisk. In the brewhouse it is still tapped from wooden casks.
