Stallfuchs

Tap to rate

Caramel and malty notes lead this Red Ale, and the finish stays soft. Five malts shape it – Pilsner, Carared, Munich, Caramunich and Carafa – hopped with Nugget and Mosaic at 5.0 % ABV and 19 IBU. As the brewery puts it, you are a fox if you like this Red Ale. Brewed by hand in Rapperswil-Jona on Lake Zurich, by a brewery that has been at it since 2000.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by rounded caramel and bread-like malty sweetness from the five-malt bill, with subtle Munich and Caramunich notes adding depth. Nugget and Mosaic hops contribute a restrained floral and herbal backdrop, never dominating. The overall impression is of balance and gentle complexity rather than hop-forward intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry brings forward the promised caramel sweetness with a soft, full body that coats without heaviness. The mid-palate reveals the malty backbone—toasted grain and light candy notes—while Nugget and Mosaic provide a gentle, measured bitterness that sits at 19 IBU. The finish avoids harshness, maintaining the smooth character established on the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lingering without astringency, the 19 IBU providing just enough grip to prevent cloying sweetness. A faint malty dryness persists, inviting another sip.
