As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines for German-Style Altbier call for a clean, crisp beer with toasty malt and a firm, dry, bitter finish, at 4.6 to 5.6 percent ABV, 25 to 52 IBU and 11 to 19 SRM (copper to dark brown). The published 5% ABV and 42 IBU fit; the golden color described sits lighter than the guideline's color range.
