A German style amber ale, exceptionally smooth and difficult to put down, this American version is a touch stronger than the Dusseldorf forerunner. Alt, literally translated, is German for old, reflecting how far back this top-fermenting style goes, dating back some 200 years ago when the Rhineland brewers stuck to the “old” dark ale while Bavarian counterparts moved toward the “new” pale lagers. The Yellowhammer version draws its aroma from a blend of Vienna, Munich and pilsner malts, while creating a slight, but notable hop character with German spalt and American crystal hops.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7
Drawn dark amber and slightly opaque. The head is off-white and leaves huge lacing. Aroma includes floral hops and some malty sweetness, but overall the aromas are muted. The flavor is similar to a moderately-hopped brown ale, with a well-balanced hop bitterness and the caramel and malt flavors. Clean and smooth, with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
