The pale ale is a true classic among craft beers: It originated in 18th-century England and today delights beer fans all over the world. The craft beer movement has given this traditional British classic a renaissance and a whole new relevance. Typical of the style are its golden color, a balanced malt bed, and an intense, often fruity hop aroma. Today, the pale ale is multifaceted and diverse.
The Ratsherrn Pale Ale clearly belongs to the flavorful, intense category. The team from the far north gave the beer a rich flavor kick with five different hop varieties, impressively demonstrating how much character can fit into a pale ale.
In the glass, the beer presents a clear amber gold with a slightly reddish tinge and a stable, fine-pored head. Upon pouring, an intense hop bouquet hits the nose: tropical fruits like mango, passion fruit, and grapefruit mingle with floral notes and a hint of pine. On the palate, the Ratsherrn Pale Ale is juicy: the exuberantly fruity hop aroma meets freshly harvested herbs and a delicate malt sweetness that lends the beer body. A decent bitterness harmoniously rounds off the drink and whets the appetite for the next sip. A subtly balanced finish concludes the beer experience, lingering with a fruity freshness.
