Faxe Red

◎ Aussehen

A clear, deep red hue with amber undertones, glowing warmly in the glass. The head forms with moderate persistence and deposits a delicate lacing down the sides. Balanced carbonation manifests in a steady stream of fine bubbles that sustains the pour.

◌ Aroma

Elderberry juice dominates the nose with a fresh, vinous character that invites immediate engagement. Beneath the berry profile, soft Malz sweetness emerges, supported by a subtle herbaceous note from the restrained hopping. A faint mineral edge, likely from the salt addition, adds complexity to the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with pronounced elderberry and berry fruit that sets a full-bodied foundation. Malty sweetness balances the fruit throughout the mid-palate, while a subtle saline character cuts through the richness without dominating. The moderate 25 IBU delivers restraint, allowing the fruit and Malz interplay to remain the focal point.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and lingering, with elderberry notes fading gradually into a soft Malz sweetness. A dry, mineral aftertaste from the salt emerges at the very end, leaving the mouth refreshed rather than cloying.
