Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel 500ml

Red beers used to be more common in Franconia. The city of Nuremberg in particular was known for its red beer. Since it was extremely complex to produce, red beer was replaced in the 19th century by brown beer, which was made using modern, simpler brewing processes, and then disappeared. It wasn't until 1997 that the beer style was revived.

For Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel red beer, malt is dried over a fire with high-quality cherry wood and not over a beech wood fire, as is the case with classic smoked beer. In contrast to the spicy beech smoked malt, the cherry smoked malt has a fruity, almost sweet smoky aroma and gives the glass a copper-red color. The finest aroma hops complement the complex smoky flavor with a berry note. 

A full-bodied, pleasantly drinkable beer.

Ingredients: water, barley malt, hops, yeast
