Bremsch Rotbier

Tap to rate

Dried fruit, berries and caramel: candied fruit with red berries and plum on the nose, a soft, slightly sweet start with malty depth and fruity nuances, then a lively finish that is less sweet and leaves red fruit behind. A bottom-fermented, reddish-brown red beer at 5.1 %, brewed to recall the export hit that once brought Bremen wealth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a soft, slightly sweet malt base that carries notes of caramel and dark fruit through the mid-palate. A gentle bittering emerges mid-way through, restoring balance and leading into a crisp, refreshing character that prevents heaviness.
