The Gladstone Altbier is a very clear, deep amber with ruby highlights. Aromas of bread and mild malt sweetness rise from an off white persistent head. Initial taste is mildly sweet malt and toasty, bread crust flavours, finished by dry, bitter hop sharpness. All flavours are well balanced, and neither stands out strongly against the other. Despite the relatively dark body, the dry finish makes the Altbier quite refreshing, even in warm weather.
