Beau’s Altbier bills itself as a “German style amber ale”, and that’s
just what it is. Born in Vankleek Hill, Ontario to Beau’s Brewing Co.,
Beau’s Altbier is a 4.7% ale sold in 473mL cans. It’s a handsome
beer—clear ruddy amber that pours with a healthy measure of eggshell
head.
The ale has a rich, roasted malt aroma and
significant bready notes. The flavour is many things: earthy, bready,
and slightly metallic, with notes of honey and roasted malt. The beer
has some unexpected bitterness at the back end.
Beau’s
Altbier is a treat. It’s extremely flavourful for a low alcohol ale and
a strong representation of an underrepresented style.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
