Düsseldorf Altbier 5 º 35 IBU

Bierverbond

Bierverbond Alt is a quintessential tribute to the Düsseldorf tradition, delivering a clean yet assertive profile. It features a robust malt backbone built on Pilsner and Munich malts, providing rich layers of toasted bread crust and a hint of nuttiness without roasted harshness. This maltiness is countered by a firm, spicy bitterness derived from traditional Spalt hops, which also impart a delicate floral aroma. The beer pours a brilliant deep copper, leading into a well-attenuated, dry palate. Its smooth, medium-bodied character and crisp finish highlight the meticulous balance between grain-forward depth and a refreshing, hop-forward snap that defines the Altbier style.

Appearance. Deep copper to bronze-orange in color (approximately 13-15 SRM). It exhibits brilliant clarity and is topped with a thick, creamy, off-white head that shows excellent retention and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malty richness with distinct notes of toasted bread, nutty grain, and baked crusts. Hop aroma is moderate-low, presenting a classic spicy and peppery character. The fermentation profile is very clean with no significant fruity esters or diacetyl.

Taste. The palate begins with a rich, nutty maltiness that quickly transitions into a firm and assertive bitterness. Flavors of toasted grain and spicy hops are prominent. It is well-attenuated and dry, finishing clean with a lingering but pleasant bitterness that avoids being harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly firm texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively and crisp mouthfeel. There is no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
