[Alt] is in every way stronger than Klsch, Rouenhoff says. Because you can taste the roasted malt and because it uses more hops. Roasted malt also lends the beer a particular flavour that isnt found in Klsch varieties.
No roasted malt flavors or harshness
Makes you wonder whether the authors of the guidelines have actually tasted authentic versions of the beers.
He's on holidays, give him timeRare to see a comment section after an article like that without an anti-megaswill rant from Bribie G...
I preferred the 'going out in germany' gallery..
The beer article was good, but I couldn't help but look at that gallery ... just a bit.I preferred the 'going out in germany' gallery..

Also makes me re-think my use of carafa at the low levels i do and whether i should be adding some choc malt to get a roasted character. I'm brewing a Dusseldorf Alt this weekend so might have to make some changes.
I think there may have been a bit of "lost in translation" there........ they are most likely refering to the character from the munich which is a toasted/roasted malt, the same as they said the ladies tend to like Kolsch more because of the Altbiers "tartness" or as we would say... bitterness.
Dont put any roast flavours in there...... its all about the fruity maltiness and hop bitterness...... roast character would throw it out.
There was an interesting post (or series of posts resulting from a thread) from newguy regarding his visit to Germany and his experience of alts there.
