Sloeber Rossa

Tap to rate

Sloeber Rossa is the amber counterpart to Sloeber, brewed in Mater with Italy as its main market and missing from the brewery's own Belgian range. It pours a clear, bright amber under a fine head. The nose is gently fruity with a light spice and the soft sweetness of caramel malt over the house yeast. On the palate caramel and ripe fruit lead, the body stays lighter than its strength suggests, and a firm but restrained bitterness carries the finish.

◐ Taste

On the palate, caramel and ripe fruit take the lead with a soft, approachable entry. The body remains notably lighter than the stated strength, allowing the flavors to move cleanly across the mid-palate. A firm but restrained bitterness (25 IBU) carries through to the finish without dominating the overall character.
