[1] Review by Bov from Bienne, Switzerland who has tried this beer once. (2/17/2007 2:17:49 PM)
"18 months old) courtesy of Laurent Mousson - pours a clear amber colour with a fine dark beige head; the nose shows some maderised notes along with earthy, almondy and nutty tones; fat mouthfeel; oily and sweet with a medium malt body; rather low bitterness; the finish is earthy and rather short with more nutty notes - at last I have been able to put my hands on this legendary Altbier !"

[2] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/12/2006 12:34:41 PM)
"The usual appearance: clear copper with a nice head and good (not the best) lacing. The aroma was balanced hoppy and malty. The flavor was tipped in the hoppy direction and was analogus to an American Pale Ale take on the altbier style. Poured from an oak wooden keg and there was some oak in the flavor as it warmed. Mouthfeel a touch thin, but crips and refreshing. The dryness held this one together pretty nicely. Rather outstanding beer from the style and great overall."

"Draught at Arcari, Gastatte, Altstadt, Dusseldorf. Copper coloured, with a thin but solid off-white head. Malt and hop aroma. Nicely balanced flavour of malt and hops, with a bitter finish and a long bitter aftertaste. Excellent."
