Alt is the German word for "old" or "ale" and this style is certainly among the earliest. Pale, golden color with excellent, herbaceous aroma, delicate fruit-acid palate, and long dry finish.

Go great with 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.
