What Our Editors Thought
“Beautiful deep garnet color. Low pitched malt nose with stewed fruits and a floral top note. Unusual in the sip with an upfront fruit-malt flavor that quickly drops. Finishes incredibly light and minimal for a beer with so much upfront flavor.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Roast and earthy malt notes combine with hints of smoke in the nose. The smoke character becomes a bit more meaty in flavor but balances well with the earthy and pine hop notes. It finishes clean with a sense of heft.”
What the Brewers Say
“This Franconian-style rotbier is a beautiful thing.”
