From the brewer

Alt Route is our take on the old school German Altbier style featuring an ale-lager hybrid yeast, which is top fermenting and fruity like an ale, but matured at cool temperatures for a clean, lager-like flavor. This deep amber beer has a slight emphasis on the richly layered, slightly sweet malt body with enough citrusy hop flavor and aroma to produce a balanced, dry finish.

Who's been drinking this

Slight, toasty malt character with a bit of sweetness followed by rounded hops and moderate bitterness on the finish. Drinkable and slight, if not a style I particularly enjoy.
