About this beer

Buoy Beer Co.’s Altbier is a copper-colored German-style altbier weighing in at 5.1% ABV and 35 IBUs. The beer presents a crisp, malt-forward flavor profile described as toasty, caramel, and nutty, finishing clean and full-bodied. Brewed and canned in Astoria, Oregon, this limited release utilizes Pilsner, chocolate, and select Tetnang hops as key ingredients. The label artwork depicts a detailed, colorful illustration of a historic Victorian-style building, presumably located in Astoria, with the words "Reach for a Buoy!" prominently displayed above.

Handcrafted with pride, this altbier aims for a classic German approach, appealing to those who appreciate well-balanced, malt-driven flavors. The label also notes government warning information regarding responsible alcohol consumption and lists the beer as being produced by Brewers Association members.
