Uerige Altbier (Classic)
Bottle states bottled on 05/03, code 04/06. Pours a deep amber with a decent white head. Smells of fresh cut grass, hay and the like. The taste has got massive grass notes with some mild malt notes, a little caramel sneaks through but not much. There is a grassy/hay like bitterness in the back and finishes somewhat clean and dry. The grassy bitterness sticks on the palate but not too overpowering. The mouthfeel is not bubbly but smooth. I and enjoying this. I was expecting a light colored, semi-sweet kolsch-like beer but it is no where close. For the apparent date of bottling there are no signs this beer has gone bad (i.e. skunked, ect.).
