Home Brew Recipe Kit for a Northern Altbier. All ingredients you will need are included in this recipe kit. Malted Grain, Hops, Yeast. (Malt Extract for Extract Option). Kit includes brewing instructions.
This recipe is an example of traditional German Altbier, with a brown-coppery color, pronounced bitterness balanced with strong malty flavor with a nice touch of caramel notes.
Altbier is especially associated with the city of Dusseldorf. Alts are a bit difficult to explain to the uninitiated - kind of like a hoppy Oktoberfest? A very malty pale ale? You'll just have to try a glass of coppery-brown, rich, caramelly, and bitter ale to get the idea.
