Altbier

22 oz bomber from Riverside Beverage, Chattanooga, TN, USA.
If I were to sum this beer up in a simple way, I would say it was authentic or “in style”.
Orange pour with great clarity. Bone white, frothy head with some good lace.
Nose is of the earthy malts that so often define the style. Finishes with te same earthy tastes, a feature of the style. Nice, smooth mouthfeel.
Without ACTUALLY knowing the ABV, this beer gives the impression of being a sessionable brew with simple drinkability and good balance. Nothing spectacular, but certainly solid.
I’d like to try this on draft, closer to the source, or even in a non-standard, cask version – it would be interesting. Slight grassy notes, tasty and simple.
