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.

Really good results with recipe kit

Excellent beer

One of the best indications I can think of for a good beer is how long it’s stays around after bottling day. We had some friends over after the beer had been in the bottle two weeks and it virtually disappeared. Everyone loved it. It wasn’t too hoppy and went down smooth.

Really great clear German beer

I usually drink lite lager beers but felt compelled to get into the Octoberfest season! Couldn’t be happier with how this turned out. Did need the blow off tube after the first day. Fermentation was aggressive to say the least. I did a little longer fermentation in the fermenter then put right in the keg under pressure in the fridge. I find myself drinking this one daily! Kudos for this creation!

The kit directions are very easy to follow, I was delayed with brewing this beer due to shipping issues than a crazy heat wave after the kit arrived. I just recently bottled and of course had to sample while I was bottling. It tasted great, would definitely pay $8 for a pint at a brewery.
