My hopes are high for the Uerige Alt, but the swing top bottle has me nervous - its never made a Grolsch taste better. It pours brownish amber, with a caramel color to the foam. The aroma is clean, a good sign, slightly sweet with a touch of caramel and a little bready. The foam is pretty thick, though it didn't pour with a lot of carbonation - a result of the swing top.
The flavor is a little thin, slightly acidic with a dry finish. The body is disappointing, I was hoping for more complex sugars from caramel or roasted malts to give it a little depth.
