Roter Engel

Tap to rate

Red-blond, top-fermented and hopped with Tettnang hops: a good hop aroma with fine touches of cinnamon and lemon, spritzy and fresh in character. Like every beer of the house it comes from the direct-fired copper kettle, where the boil runs for eight hours; it then ferments openly and matures for weeks in horizontal tanks.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a refined Tettnang hop character that is grassy and herbal, layered with subtle spice notes—a whisper of cinnamon and zesty lemon. Beneath the hop aroma lies a soft malt foundation, neither heavy nor absent, with hints of light grain sweetness that support rather than dominate the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, the spritzy carbonation sharpening the palate. Mid-palate develops a balanced interplay between the delicate malt sweetness and a restrained bitterness from the noble hops, with faint spice notes echoing the aroma. The moderate IBU of 24 ensures the beer remains approachable rather than assertive, finishing dry without harshness.
