Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Diebels Alt if you want a rounder, slightly sweeter malt backbone, Gleumes Alt if you want a drier, more austere finish.
Both are classic Düsseldorf-style alts with that copper clarity and smooth copper character, but Diebels leans comfort while Gleumes edges toward restraint. The ABV difference (if Gleumes sits lower) would make Diebels feel fractionally weightier on the palate.

Tasting notes
Diebels Alt
Diebels Alt hits you with immediate toasted grain sweetness—not cloying, but genuinely malty. There's a soft caramel undertone that sits on your tongue longer than you'd expect from 4.8%. The bitterness (32 IBU) arrives late and polite, like it's asking permission. This is the alt that feels like a warm handshake.
Gleumes Alt
Gleumes Alt is leaner, sharper. You get the bread-crust maltiness, but it doesn't linger; instead there's this dry, almost mineral finish that makes you reach for another sip. The 28 IBU suggests restraint, and you feel it—no aggressive bite, just a clean cut at the end. This is the alt that doesn't overstay its welcome.
