Weyermann® - 23 - Red Brick Lager

The name of this bottom-fermented beer is a reference to the historic brick façade of our malt house in Bamberg, dating from the turn of the 20th century. In the glass, this lager has a robust white foam that releases a dominant but delicate bouquet of caramel with mild notes of honey and cotton candy. These aromas come from the addition of hot bricks to the brew kettle, which caramelizes the malt sugar. After the cooled bricks are added to the fermenter, the dissolution of the sugars increases the malt flavors of the beer. In the finish, the remaining sweetness of the beer is balanced by fruity hop notes of pear and peach.
