An alternate dimension

Here we have an attempt at something German called Altbier. This is Alternate Dimension from Trader Joe's. The back label says the brewer used a special Alt yeast from Dusseldorf. Pretty impressive for $7 a sixer, right? But is it good?

With bit of a pretzel-like aroma, a pleasant maltiness and just the right amount of bitterness, Alternate Dimension is a very drinkable beer. In fact, I've tasted quite a few much higher-priced Altbiers and this one is just about as good. I might go back for more...it's just too bad that it's so hot outside....(I like my darker beers when it's colder.)
