Our deep-copper Van Allen Altbier commands an assertive spicy hop bitterness courtesy of German Magnum and Opal hops that complement the complexly full-bodied German base malt notes of toasted bread, nuttiness, and caramel doughiness. Some dark-fruit esters make it through fermentation due to its unique temperature schedule. A thick and creamy head tops this brilliantly clear low-astringency lager.
