My first Rotbier! This is a thrill for an old malt-head. But also a challenge because I like to rate to style and I have nothing to compare Rhaner's to. But, I did read the BA Style Sheet and Rhaner's is close to style.

I also went on Rhaner's website after I added this beer and copied their description (translated by Google): "Discover our handcrafted red beer, made with love and care. Select ingredients and fine specialty malts give this beer its unique character and characteristic reddish hue. A Bavarian specialty, our red beer is the official beer of the 2025 State Garden Show in Furth im Wald. Cheers! Ingredients: Rhaner spring water, barley malt, hops, yeast"

As for my short review: Looks are a pretty ruby and decent foam; Smells mostly malt; Tastes balanced by an ever slight lingering of hops; not quite Medium-mouthed, but nicely soft for a lager.

As for my good Overall Hugs for Rhaner, that's mostly for this family brewery carrying on the Bamberg tradition of rotbiers, right next to the Czech border on the mid-way to Pilzn; making a statement about dark malts and the most popular pale. Prost !
