This rich malty beer features a pronounced hop profile from traditional European and Pacific Northwest hops. The commercial version of this beer is an ALT style which comes from the German word meaning "old". This refers to the aging that alts undergo since they ferment more slowly and at colder temperatures than most ales. Slow fermentation helps condition the flavors, contributing to the overall balance and smoothness. This beer can be fermented at 60°F to make the traditional Alt version or at standard 70°F temperature for a different (but still very good) ale.
