Brothers' Alt Nuptial Ale

Brothers' Alt Nuptial Ale

Düsseldorf Altbier • Partial Mash • 5 gal

Lauritz

An excellent Alt. Perhaps this prompted the Widmer brothers to discontinue thier Alt, and their best beer. I'm just glad the Widmer Springfest was around to key me into this delicious style. Will try a all-mash in the coming months.

  • White Labs WLP036 Dusseldorf Alt

    Traditional Alt yeast from Dusseldorf, Germany. Produces clean, slightly sweet alt beers. Does not accentuate hop flavor as WLP029 does.

Notes

Brewed by two lesser brothers for the wedding day of the heir. Extract is actually William's Brewing's German Gold which is 1/2 Munich and 1/2 Morovian Pils or some thing. Brewed in July of 2002 tastes better than ever in January of 2003. Hopefully the marriage will age even better.
