Hovels Bitterbier

Hovels Bitterbier is a German Altbier, or old beer, from Hövels Brewery in Dortmund. Altbiers are characterised by the use of ale yeast, brewed in the lager style. An ale/lager hybrid, Altbiers tend to have characteristics of both beers - softness and a fruity character from the ale yeast, and crispness from the lager brewing process.

Despite the name ‘Bitterbier’, bitterness is moderate to low, coming across in the aroma more than the flavour. Buy Hövels Bitterbier for a smooth, drinkable German Altbier.
