Kurvenbräu

Tap to rate

Passion fruit and rhubarb give this shimmering orange Pale Ale an exotic, fruity nose beneath a fine-pored, dense cream-coloured head. On the palate it is fresh and finely sparkling yet creamy and smooth, with a pronounced hop aroma in full breadth: dry, resinous and fruity at once. The brewery presents it as its Pale Ale N°1, brewed from water, barley malt, hops and yeast.

◐ Taste

The palate opens fresh and crisp, with a creamy, smooth body that belies the beer's restrained ABV. Hop character unfolds across the mid-palate—dry, resinous, and fruity in quick succession—while the malt provides gentle sweetness and a subtle cereal foundation without becoming heavy or cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the hop bitterness fading gracefully to leave a lingering fruity impression. Carbonation carries the experience through a refreshing, moderately long aftertaste that invites the next sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
