Brewing TV’s Jake Keeler likes him some amber-colored, nicely-balanced quaffing beers - West Coast, Lowlands, Altstadt, wherevs. This is a traditional Dusseldorfer-style Altbier - largely Munich malt with a little wheat for structure, showing a coppery color, crisp and clean profile, and a fairly moderate gravity for delectation by the half-liter. In the reverse of late-addition hopbursting, a single hefty dose of German hops is front-loaded before the boil even begins (first-wort hopping). Via the magic of wort chemistry some of the volatile oils are preserved, and the result is elevated - but not overbearing - bitterness with a residual hop aroma that manifests as earthy, cinnamon-like spice peeking through the clean, malty, bread-crusty nose of Munich malt.
