Cherries and smoked malt aren't a pairing you meet every day - but in Bamberg, Schlenkerla has made it their own, slightly different take on the classic Rotbier style.

Expert description of Heller-Bräu Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel Rotbier

Heller-Bräu Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel Rotbier is a unique, delicious beer from the renowned German brewery Schlenkerla in Bamberg. This beer is a variation on the classic Rotbier style, also known as "red beer", and offers an exciting combination of malty flavours and a light fruitiness from cherries.

With a beautiful reddish-brown colour and a round, full malt profile, this beer is both sweet and complex. The cherries provide a subtle tart, fruity undertone that harmonises perfectly with the lightly smoky flavour derived from the traditionally smoked malts Schlenkerla is known for. While the smoky flavour isn't as prominent as in their classic Rauchbier, it adds a unique depth and character to the beer.

At 4.6% ABV, Weichsel Rotbier is a pleasant, medium-strength beer, ideal both for those wanting to explore darker beer styles and those seeking a slightly different experience with a light fruity flavour.
