Altbier

Altbier is a German beer. Altbier means old beer. Germany mostly transitioned to lagers in their past. These Altbiers maintain Germany's ale brewing traditions.

It is copper in color. They are malty in the front. A smooth middle potentially with minor fruit undertones. A nice bitter hop finish that isn't too strong. It should be a well balanced flavor throughout and not overpowering or uneven in any stage. A well done Altbier should be savory and delicious.
