LaBieratorium Alte Welt Ale

The Alte Welt Ale is a mixture of Altbier and Rauchbier, fermented with a top-fermented yeast. The beer style from the 14th century has been reinterpreted within the framework of the Purity Law. The then spice mixtures, provided with lemon verbena, hail and other herbs paired with aromas of oak bark (which made the beer through the tannic acid more durable) are modeled on the selection of hops. Hercules is used for the slightly attached, earthy bitterness and the hops Cascade and sapphire for the subtle fruit notes The naturally cloudy honey color of the beer is meant to remind that in the 14th century barley could not be lightly roasted. At the onset of drink, a light smoke aroma fills the mouth, which immediately turns into a sparkling full-bodied with yeasty, fruity and bitter notes. The smoke flavors stand for the fact that through the open malt roasting in the "old world" each beer acquired a smoke character. The finish leaves the pleasant bitterness and also leaves a light citrus note.
