Pyraser Rotbier

Tap to rate

A bottom-fermented, filtered red lager at 11.4 °P, copper-coloured with a fine, glossy head. Vienna malt, kilned especially gently in the Franconian manner, gives the colour and depth, supported by caramel malts: toast, biscuit, caramel and a touch of nuttiness. Hersbrucker aroma hops, alongside Perle and Saphir, bring a floral, herbal freshness and a delicate bitterness. Lean in body and malt-led, with a clean, lightly dry finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pyraser Rotbier

◎ Appearance

A bright copper hue, clear and well-defined, with fine carbonation evident throughout. The head is dense and glossy, clinging to the glass with a persistent, delicate lacing that marks each sip. The colour reflects the gentle kilning of Vienna malt, neither dark nor pale, but distinctly malt-forward in presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, floral notes from Hersbrucker hops, layered with herbal undertones from Perle and Saphir. Beneath this lies a warm maltiness—toasted bread, biscuit and a gentle caramel sweetness—underpinned by a subtle nuttiness. The overall impression is restrained and balanced, with no sharp edges or dominant single note.

◐ Taste

The palate enters lean and clean, allowing the malt character to lead: toast, biscuit and a whisper of caramel unfold without heaviness. A delicate bitterness from the noble hops provides structure and focus, never aggressive, and resolves into a drying quality that keeps the beer moving. Body is restrained, true to the style, with fine carbonation supporting a crisp, malt-centric experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is lightly dry, with the bitterness fading to a soft, cereal-grain dryness. A faint nuttiness lingers in the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed rather than coated.
