Steeplesnacks Altbier is a sessionable tribute to the traditional Düsseldorf style, showcasing the nuanced character of Northwest craft malts. A deep copper hue invites the senses into a profile defined by a rich, grainy-sweet core. Toasted bread crust aromas mingle with soft, evocative notes of caramel and toffee, providing a sturdy foundation for the clean, spicy snap of noble hops. The bitterness is firm yet refined, expertly balancing the malt richness to ensure a crisp, dry finish. Fermented cool for a clean profile, this Altbier delivers a harmonious blend of old-world tradition and regional ingredients, resulting in a smooth, remarkably drinkable amber ale.

Appearance. Deep copper to bronze-orange with brilliant clarity. Features a thick, creamy, and long-lasting off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to moderately-high malt intensity featuring toasted bread crusts and nutty grain, complemented by subtle caramel and toffee notes. Clean noble hop character provides a low to moderate spicy and floral presence. Fermentation is very clean with negligible esters.

Taste. Initial malt richness offers flavors of toasted bread and light toffee, followed by a firm hop bitterness that prevents any cloying sweetness. Noble hop flavors are spicy and floral. The balance is moderately bitter, leading into a dry, clean, and crisp finish with a lingering grainy-malty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, well-conditioned palate. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. No alcohol warmth or astringency present.
