Alt No 3 2004
Düsseldorf Altbier • All Grain • 22 L
I just love this beer style. With an IBU of 54 it has a nice balance to it. The hops come through but are not overpowering. Give ths Style a go.

Our "Brewer Patriot" strain can be used to reproduce many of the American versions of classic beer styles. Similar neutral character of WLP001, but less attenuation, less accentuation of hop bitterness, increased flocculation, and a little tartness. Very

This beer turned out very well, I always over bitter a little to style to add that extra little bite. A great brew and the problem was I never had any bottles left to get to a competition. Brew it and enjoy Cheers Ray
