Red Ale

Bottle from Werksverkauf. Color: Slightly hazy reddish brown, firm light beige head. Taste: Spices, notes of caramel. Starting malty, below medium sweet, going to more floral hoppy. Very lightly citrus hints at finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Bit dry mouthfeel. Nice one.

0.33 l bottle from ’Biermuda’, best before April 2017. Clear, deep red with a thin, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity, a bit resiny and minimally soapy aroma of red fruits, some caramel and a touch of pine. Slightly sweetish, slightly fruity and a bit soapy taste of caramel, red fruits, pine, some chocolate and a touch of licorice, followed by a medium long, rather bitter, quite earthy and slightly resiny finish. Medium body, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty! May need a bit of fine-tuning, but overall very pleasant and refreshing.

Sample @ FdB Cologne 2015. Smooth fresh. Dry with smooth malt. Hints of red malt, dusty roasted, round and good.

0,75 l swing top bottle bought at the brewery. A dark red amber in the glass. Big light tanned head. Looks good. Low malty with strawberries at the nose. Starts malty, fresh hop hints in the background. Later more roasty malt and hopy. Little bit sticky. Nice one!

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one. Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Starts fine malty, spicy, some fruity notes og plum. Light sourish hints, a bit earthy. Finish spicy malty. Really nice!

Grasig hopfiger, deutlich zitrusartiger Antrunk. Leichte Röstnoten, die sich noch steigern. Würzig hopfiger Mittelteil, süßlich, rund. Die Hopfigkeit bleibt das wichtigste Aroma, blumig, hellwürzig. Gelungen. 9/11/10/11/10/11
