Looks really good.

I'm doing a german style but with munich ale yeast - bears some similarity to yours, though I didn't have the guts to go Nelson Sauvin, despite being a big fan of it. I just went Saaz and Tettnanger - I wanted to do something remotely genuine for SWMBO to have with me.

I made a light coloured beer with NS, not much malt profile, but wham with the hops - it was almost like a soft slightly dry white wine style. Very versatile hop is NS.

What is the reference to Altbier for?

It's as much an Altbier as NickJD's no wheat beer is a Weizen... h34r:

May as well call it a belgian that isn't...
