Altbier ("old beer") is a traditional German copper ale from Düsseldorf, known for its range from malty sweetness to bitter dryness, with a crisp body. Another German beer, like the Kolsch, blends ale and lager characteristics—the assertiveness of an ale with lager-like clarity and crispness.
Utepils Brewing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is known for the great care they take in mastering European-style beers. ALT 1848 is one of many! The deep, clear copper color with a nice tan head greets you. A smooth yet crisp, bitter forward Altbier that finishes as it began. A nice sessionable 5.4% ABV beer that is perfect anytime of year.
Cheers!
