With aromas of toasty, nutty bread crust, RIVAL Altbier finishes surprisingly clean. It’s the notable hop presence that balances the malt richness – ABV: 5.5%. On draft only now for a limited time!

Copper-colored, with brilliant clarity, classic German altbiers are fermented warmer, like an ale; then lagered, similar to a Kölsch. “Alt” means “old”, as in the old style of brewing – using top-fermented yeast, which supplies this brew with light cherry notes.

The name “RIVAL” refers to the friendly competition between Dusseldorf and Cologne, where Kölsch originated, and the city’s affinity for their respective famous and historic beer styles. Try our HARBOR CRUISE Kölsch for comparison!
