Gleumes Uralt

Tap to rate

Nutty first, followed by a touch of caramel, a gentle malt bitterness and a light hop bitterness on the way out. Naturally cloudy, and with 5.2 % a little stronger than the house Alt. Gleumes brews, by its own account, to the old recipe of 1807 and to the German purity law, the same footing as the rest of the range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gleumes Uralt

◎ Appearance

Deep copper-brown, naturally cloudy from suspension through the Hefe, presenting a hazy, inviting appearance true to its traditional brewing character. The foam layer is stable and clinging, with fine Schaumhaftung that persists throughout the glass. Carbonation is gentle, befitting the old-style Alt approach.

◌ Aroma

Nutty complexity leads the nose, with roasted Malz undertones and a subtle cocoa suggestion that deepens as the beer warms. A whisper of caramel sweetness accompanies gentle, earthy hop notes—no aggressive florality, but rather a restrained noble hop character that respects the malt-forward tradition. The overall impression is one of warmth and restraint.

◐ Taste

Dry and full-bodied on the palate, with pronounced roasted Malz and chocolate notes that anchor the beer firmly. A bready, slightly sweet caramel character mid-palate provides balance without dominance, while a malt-driven bitterness—not sharp—carries through cleanly. The finish is marked by a gentle, lingering hop bitterness that fades with composure.

◑ Finish

Medium-length dry finish with a persistent, warming malt bitterness that gradually resolves into subtle nutty echoes. No harsh edges or astringency; instead, a smooth fade that invites another sip.
