The History of Organic Munster Alt

"Alt" is the German word for "old" or "original" and the alt style is certainly older than German lager styles. Today, alt - an ale - is a specialty of Westphalia, in Northern Germany.

Taste

Pale, golden color with excellent, herbaceous aroma, delicate fruit-acid palate, and long dry finish.

Serving Suggestion

Cured ham, sweetbreads, lasagna, as an aperitif with a dash of flavored syrup (raspberry, lime or cherry), light breads, croissants, pizza, corn tortillas. Serve in thin, delicate, straight glasses garnished with fresh fruit.
