🌍 Denmark · Dunkel · One of 53 Dunkels in hopIQ

Rød Tuborg goes back to the first beer the brewery brewed for Danish drinkers. It returns to bars for the brewery's birthday on 13 May and reaches shops again when autumn begins. Munich and pilsner malt, with a little caramel and colour malt, give it a red-brown colour and a rich head. The aroma leans towards bread crust and toasted grain, joined by gentle caramel sweetness and a faint roasted edge, over a very full body.

The palate is full and substantial, with the malt character expressing itself through warming caramel and toasted notes. At 22 IBU, bitterness remains restrained and balanced, allowing the malt foundation to dominate without becoming cloying. The finish carries the toasted grain through cleanly, with mild roasted undertones lingering.
