Rav Larsen

Tap to rate

Rav Larsen is an amber-coloured, full-bodied red wheat beer with a good head of foam. Only a little hop is used, because the wheat is meant to be tasted. It features a sorbet-like texture and a fresh fruity taste and aroma, with flavours of elderflower and strawberry.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and smooth, leading with wheat grain character and a gentle sweetness suggestive of ripe berries. Mid-palate reveals floral complexity and a subtle caramel undertone, while hop bitterness remains polished and restrained at 28 IBU. The texture is almost sorbet-like—creamy and refreshing without heaviness, allowing the malt and fruit to dominate throughout.
