Product details

Alt refers to an old-school, top-fermented style of brewing ale rather than a relatively modern bottom-fermented lager. Altbier is especially associated with the city of Dusseldorf. Alts are a bit difficult to explain to the uninitiated - kind of like a hoppy Oktoberfest? A very malty pale ale? You'll just have to try a glass of coppery-brown, rich, caramelly, and bitter ale to get the idea.

German Alt Bier - for Oktoberfest

Review: Seemed to brew well and ferment well with the liquid yeast, but is somewhat on the sweeter and darker sides which reduces my liking somewhat.
I carbonate during the conditioning phase, in clear plastic (2 liter) club soda bottles, and it carbonated well within a week of bottling.
Looking forward to conditioning continuing to improve this beer, and convert the sweeter tones to maltier tones – fingers crossed

A good flavored mellow satisfying extract brew.

Excellent mild yet rich brew

We just popped our 1st bottles yesterday; 6 weeks in the making. It was pleasantly mild and yet with a smidge of hoppiness and hint of bitters. Very unique, easy beverage! I used the dry yeast option-rehydrating b4 pitching with perfect action and kept 1st and 2nd fermentation at a 64F temp. This is a keeper!

Deep Flavor

Little hoppy at first but settled down and attained a deep flavor after about week following kegging. Will definitely brew again.
