L- Mid amber, slightly hazy, pours with a 1Cm off-white foam head, holds up well, forms lacing on way down.
S- Spicy. In fact it remind me of the spicy notes in a German Weissbier.
T- I get some of the spice notes come through, coriander and clove, but I also get another facet that's errr kinda aromatic/synthetic tasting. Hard to explain. Maybe this derives from the rye, something I don't drink often. I seem to keep coming back to the note of clove especially if I sloosh it around my mouth and do some tongue-slapping on the palate after I swallow. Oh and it is pretty hoppy-dry.
F- It feels a bit thin to me, and the ABV feels about 4.6%. It would probably make a better summer beer than a winter one.
O- Something a bit different. Prominent spice, notably clove. A bit light on feel to balance well for me.
500ml BB: 05/06/2021. Bought from TremblingMadness/York for home-delivery to London.

L: It pours dark amber bordering on burnt orange. Small head. Hazy.
S: It smells sweet and with a ton of yeasty notes. Banana and clove.
T: It tastes similar to how it smells. Banana and clove and spicy rye notes.
M: Thick and with mild carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.
O: A really enjoyable and unique beer.

Schremser Roggen Bio Beer
,33l green glass bottle for €,95 @ SPAR, Gumpendorfer Straße 39, 1060 Wien
"Mindestens Haltbar Bis: 09.08.14", sampled 04.01.14 so 5 months to go = fresh

Notes: Very hazy brass body beneath a two-finger-thick head of white. Very good retention and lacing. Aroma of a weiss bier w/ yeast and phenols. Flavor also phenolic: a bit of banana and some slightly burnt plastic. Tartish and juicy fruit - apple. Mildly caramelish. Rye is present and adds spiciness that balances it. Mild, perhaps moderate bitterness balances - not much is needed given the spiciness and subtle tart note. Unique. Charming. Somewhat complex. Certainly worth trying!

Poured hazy light brown, low head, big retention.
Smokiness in the smell, dark rye bread, grains, light caramel and hefeweizen notes 9some low banana and clove).
The expected sourness presents itself perfectly, without any off notes. Lots of rye, wheat, a pretty big maltiness. Salty also. Not too fruity, with some acidic apple notes and some faint banana. Gets fruitier (a bit) as it warms up. Lower smoky feel, big earthiness though. Hops are nice and bitter in the end, low metallic notes, with a dry clear finish.
The body is thankfully not too watery, but rich and chunky, with a prickly fizz.
Nice roggen, maybe a little too plain.

 

 

 

 

Ruddy blonde with white film and no action; a bit murky. Lagery tang on the nose with maybe some sour rye.
Mulchy crystal, some rye bite and a Noble ending. Opens up into wild honey clinginess as it warms.
Rusk finish, dry spicy linger that’s a touch sour. Light to medium, crisp, some chew.

Rye is there, but not the most gracefully presented. Then again, most of my experience with rye is RyePAs, so maybe this is not off target – for that reason, I’m rating it generously. Still, age or execution lets this one down. It does cut, though, so it’s good with food.

Bottle dated 25.April.2012

On-tap at the Old Red Cow.

A: Cloudy light brown body with a bit of thin, fine off-white head on top. Mediocre retention, but nice, delicate lace. Ok.

S: Sour, fruity rye. Some vanilla, spice, and lemon. Very intriguing.

T: Spicier and more purely rye-like here, but with some creamy, vanilla-tinged fruitiness following close behind the spicy/sour rye. Spiciness returns with a vengeance on the finish, along with solid bitterness. Very complex, very tasty.

M: Soft, creamy medium body. Nice.

O: This was only my second Roggenbier ever, and I loved it almost as much as the first (Tröegs Scratch 28). Maybe I just really enjoy the style, as someone with more experience with the style told me that this particular one was "rubbish." Take my recommendation with a pinch of salt, obviously, but I thought this was a fascinating beer.

Cheers!

On tap at The Draft House Tower Bridge London
Served in a Schrems fluted glass.
It pours an orange-hued tannish color with a medium-sized off-white head. Some trailing and patchy lace cling all the way down.
A smell of dry rye cracker crumbs comes to mind. Smells of peat and cut hay mingle with whiffs of floral and resinous hops.
The rye flavor seem a bit subdued for the style. The flavor profiles, in general are mellow and pleasant. Light marbled rye, dry malt, caramel, resiny and metallic hop and a touch of mild citrus tartness blend quite nicely. A little sourness is noticed in the finish.
The dryness diminishes and the sweetness becomes more prevalent as it warms.
Truly a nice likeable beer!

A - hazy orange with nice head
S - banana, light caramel, rye bread, pretty heavy smell
T - not so full bodied as expected from its smell, however nice and fresh taste of banana, bitter apple and kind of dry end
M - medium carbonation with medium to low body
D - pretty fresh and drinkable

.33L emptied into a Pokal.

A: Pours hazy orange with a 1-finger tan head which receeds to a thin ring. Sparse lacing.

S: Bananas, grain, rye, caramel malt.

M: Medium bodied with decent carbonation.

T: Lots of rye on the first sip, then the palate adjusts and it becomes quite smooth. Nice balance of hops. Dry finish with a lingering aftertaste of rye bread.

D: Very refreshing. Smooth and well balanced. The rye is just spicy enough to be interesting.
Worth finding, this one.
