STICKE ALTBIER

GERMAN-STYLE AMBER ALE

Altbier is a traditional, top-fermented German ale that originated in Düsseldorf, Rhineland. Alt meaning Old refers to the traditional way of brewing before the invention of lagers. It's a copper-colored beer with a malty, bittersweet finish and a firm, white foam head. Altbier is known for its balance of hop and malt flavors and aromas, and has a medium body, medium to high carbonation, and a short finish. Sticke Bier is a name broadly given to a special version of top-fermented Dusseldorf-style altbier, generally described as being higher in alcohol and more assertive in character than the traditional version.
