Week 6 of 52
Alt Bier at the Herkimer
February 4th thru 10th
Brewer's Description
Copper-colored and hoppy, this beer is most easily compared to a German form of a pale ale. Popular around Dusseldorf, the name means simply "old" and recalls a time before Germany made primarily lagers. This beer features a high bitterness and aroma characteristic of generous additions of hops to the brew.
Alt Bier was a Gold Medal winner at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival.

5igmund says Sticky Fingers
February 7th, 2008
Again thanks Rett for organizing not only the site but the event last night as well. It was good to meet a large chunk of people on this site, it just makes the reviews much more relevant.
This was a decent beer for me. I would not say it was anything special but it was pleasant to drink and there was really nothing that totally turned me off about it. This is a sweet beer not cider sweet but still sweet enough that when I spilled some of my full beer on my fingers they were sticky all night. Well at least until I went to the restroom.
