Roter Engel

◎ Aussehen

Roter Engel displays a bright red-blond hue, transparent and clean in the glass. The head forms readily and clings to the walls with fine lacework, suggesting good protein structure from the open fermentation. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a refined Tettnang hop character that is grassy and herbal, layered with subtle spice notes—a whisper of cinnamon and zesty lemon. Beneath the hop aroma lies a soft malt foundation, neither heavy nor absent, with hints of light grain sweetness that support rather than dominate the profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and refreshing, the spritzy carbonation sharpening the palate. Mid-palate develops a balanced interplay between the delicate malt sweetness and a restrained bitterness from the noble hops, with faint spice notes echoing the aroma. The moderate IBU of 24 ensures the beer remains approachable rather than assertive, finishing dry without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and lingering, with a gentle fade of hop bitterness and spice. No heavy residue or cloy remains; instead, a freshness persists on the palate, inviting the next sip.
