Schanzenbräu red beer

Rotbier is a beer style that originated in the Franconian metropolis of Nuremberg At the time of its creation, it was considered a palatable alternative to the then modern wheat beer The main difference between the two styles is the grain used: wheat was and is largely used for the brew of the same name, while only barley is used in Rotbier In addition, the latter is bottom-fermented The strong copper-colored drink usually has an alcohol content of around 5% and is wonderfully malty

As an original Nuremberg brewery, Schanzenbräu naturally also has a red beer in its range The unfiltered specialty from its homeland has a pleasant 4.9% alcohol content and borrows its full-bodied taste from three aromatic types of malt, which are combined with the hops Hallertauer Tradition, Spalter Select and Mandarina Bavaria to create a real delicacy

The brew from Schanzenbräu presents itself in typical red gold and is crowned with a good amount of dense foam A bouquet of roasted grain and flowery hops fills the air and whets the appetite for the first sip The taste test reveals a silky-soft body that spreads across the tongue with notes of malt, hints of red forest berries and a hint of caramel The hops contribute a floral undertone that goes perfectly with the full-bodied grain Satisfying!
