Wagner Merkendorf copper engraving red beer

We love beers in shiny gold, which are crystal clear and have a flowery white head in the glass However, we almost like even more strongly cloudy beers and those that have a ruby red shimmer to them This copper tint is due to the use of special malts and has inspired the Wagner brewery from Merkendorf to create a fine creation

Their wonderful red beer is aptly named Kupferstich and is made with an exquisite selection of fine malts The roasted grain gives the beer its strong red gold color, the ivory-colored head and the full-bodied aroma A composition of roasted grain, toffee, red dried fruit and toasted bread brings the malt fullness to the nose, the hops contribute grassy notes and gentle herbal notes The first taste continues the olfactory first impression in a culinary way: Delicately melting caramel meets pithy notes, spicy yeast, straw, roasted nuts, hints of fruit and a lovely roasted bitterness Despite the high malt density, the red beer delights with its freshness and effervescence Sweetness, bitterness and spiciness maintain the perfect balance and make Wagner's Kupferstich a real treat

Thanks to its malty variety, the beer goes wonderfully with hearty dishes and heavy desserts We love the red beer to round off a nice dinner with a piece of chocolate cake or simply on its own as a dessert
