COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ein "Freestyle" Red Ale nach englischen Stil aber mit amerikanischem Hopfen und deutscher Hefe. Die fruchtigen Aromen der Hefe verbinden sich mit den dezenten Malzaromen und den Zitrusnoten des Hopfens zu einem charaktervollen, deunkleren Biertypus.

Nice and refreshing. Malty, sparkling. Just bitter enough, but without the kick stronger red beers like Moretti La Rossa, have. The only downside is the aftertaste, much the same as that of cheaper lager.

Red ale?!? This is a slightly rough dark lager! Caramel sweetness, but papery. Does have a nice roast.

Bottled@HBF2015. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, wooden and some slight herbal notes. Flavour is floral, wooden, some mild toffee and caramel to it as well. Quite crisp on the malty side.

Tried on tap. Colour is hazy red/amber. Aroma is red fruits, chocolate, nuts and toasted malts. Taste is lightly malty, with orange, dry, bitter hop finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Really tasty Rot! Balance of fruity malts and dry finish. Not obnoxiously hopped, yet has a bit of a bite. Austrian craft beer is really exciting and Forstner shouldn’t be slept on!

Bottle. Muddy ambe with, avarage white frothy head. Aroma of red fruit (red currant, strawberry, raspberry), with hints of caramel and chocolate notes in the end. Sweetness comes along with it’s fruity profile, but I’d rather have it countered by some bitterness. It’s a bit too heavy for it’s abv. Interesting beer.
