Kürzer Rotbier

Brauerei Kürzer
Germany·Rotbier
Tap to rate

Kürzer Rotbier is one of the specialty beers on tap at the taproom of the brewery's Flingern site. It has a full body and soft carbonation. The malt carries notes of hazelnut and maple, joined by a hint of red currant and a slightly woody impression reminiscent of oak, while a light yeasty touch keeps it rustic. The bitterness stays in the background and leaves a rounded rather than dry finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm hazelnut and maple sweetness from the malt base, supported by subtle oak impressions that suggest careful aging or wood contact. A light yeasty undertone adds rusticity and complexity without overwhelming the delicate interplay of grain and wood.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with round, malty sweetness that unfolds across the palate, carrying hazelnut and maple notes forward. A woody character emerges mid-palate while a faint red currant tartness provides subtle fruit acidity; bitterness remains restrained and never intrudes on the soft, balanced mouthfeel.
