All About German Altbier

German altbier, or simply "alt," is a top-fermented beer style that originated in Düsseldorf, Germany. Traditionally, its a type of ale that is fermented at a cooler temperature than other ales, which gives it a smooth and clean taste. The name "alt" means "old" in German, and refers to the traditional brewing methods used to make this beer.

Altbiers have a deep amber color and a rich, malty flavor with a prominent toasted bread and caramel taste. The beer is balanced by a moderate hop bitterness with a slight earthy and spicy flavor. The bitterness comes from the use of noble hops, which are known for their subtle, pleasant bitterness and floral aroma. Altbier is a well-rounded beer with a clean finish and a subtle fruity aftertaste.

Traditionally, alt is brewed using only four ingredients: water, malt, hops, and yeast. The use of local ingredients and traditional brewing techniques gives this beer a unique character that reflects the history and culture of the Düsseldorf region. Alt is typically served in small, narrow glasses called "stangen," which helps to accentuate its smooth and clean taste.  If you're looking for a flavorful and refreshing beer, then Altbier is a is an excellent style.
