Tried my Altbier the on the weekend and the flavour is nice and subtle however there is not enough carbonation in it. May just enter and see how it goes on the day anyway as it would be interesting to see how it stands considering its my first beer using grains.

Am tempted to enter , although I dont think my German Altbier has been in the bottle long enough.....and my current lager has just a bit too much carbonation !
