A Dusseldorf specialty, an Altbier is a German style brown ale, the "alt" literally translates to "old" in German, and traditionally Altbiers are conditioned for a longer than normal periods of time. The extended conditioning mellows out the ale's fruitiness and produces an exceptionally smooth and delicate brew. The color is amber to dark brown, medium in carbonation and has a great balance between malt and hops. If you are a fan of german beers this will soon become one of your favorites.
