First, I explain my styling this as a Vienna. While this is no traditional Vienna (usually an all-barely beer), this Bio-Rot is spicy; probably equally from the hops and rye. But, the Vienna spiciness also lingers.... just differently. And Bio-Rot certainly has more character than most the Euro Darks, the other common BA style for Robbers. UnTappd styles this as Lager-Rotbier. Until BA makes that category, I'll settle for Vienna.

Second, Wittichenauer is a contract brewer. Quartiermeister (a nano) contact brews with Wittichenauer... or at least that is how UnTappd seems to have sorted it out. And I trust their German better than mine.

Third, Bio-Rotbier ain't bad. While its foam fades too fast, it's a pretty amber. Smells mostly of malt. Tastes may have too much spice; try fewer hops next time. Light to medium-mouthed.

As for my micro-review, I'd like to find an English button but can't. And even though I've been here for a week, German does not encourage understanding from me. From the pictures, Quartiermeister seems to do lots of Good Guy stuff including their Bio beers. So I give them decent Overall Hugs.
