Roter Hahn

◎ Aussehen

Roter Hahn presents a clear amber-red body that catches the light with gentle warmth. The head forms with moderate density and holds with steady retention, leaving a fine ring of lacing down the glass. Carbonation is restrained but evident, contributing to a composed visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted bread crust and a subtle caramel sweetness derived from the darker malts used in the grist. A light spice note threads through, offering complexity without aggression. The Edelhopfen contribute a gentle, background herbal quality that does not dominate.

◐ Geschmack

Malt dominates the palate from the opening, delivering that bread crust character alongside a rounded, full body. The caramel sweetness develops gently in the mid-palate, supported by the spicy undertone that emerged on the nose. Bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the malt profile to lead through to the finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish holds a malty character, fading with measured length and a whisper of the spice note. No harshness or astringency intrudes; the restrained bitterness lingers softly as a counterpoint to the malt-driven aftertaste.
