Is an Altbier better than a Kolsch?
I'm probably going to get killed for saying this but...
It's different.
As similar as it is in serving style, and the way its made, it's completely different in it's taste profile which is far more bready than the lighter and fruitier Kolsch.
That being said oh my god is it a perfect beer for any weather, any situation...just anything really!
Bready, crusty, caramel goodness, layered on a nice crisp finish that feels reminiscent of a lager, but just pulls back with a bit of fruity or floral hop character.
This is my rendition of the Dungeons & Dragons Wizard's Quaff, and I think i've definitely done this beer justice!
