Schulten Brau Rosé



I knew something was odd with this beer from the moment I opened the 6-bottle package and took a look at the bottle. The beer seemed to be too clear for a rose, even though I was looking at it while it was still in its brown bottle.
The most Rosé beers I had till now were Wit beers with some strawberries/raspberries juice and/or a coloring agent, in order to get that characteristic pink colour. And because of that, those roses tend to be quite hazy and in most cases non transparent at all.
That was not the case with this one. As I had suspected, it was very clear and certainly not pink/rose in colour. More like a deep golden colour with an orange hue, or, if you prefer, a deep copper colour. I poured my second bottle on a flute glass as recommended and doing that, I was finally able to get an one-and-a-half fingers of white head, slowly dissloving, untill it was completely gone. Not much activity in the glass.
Aroma was very artificial and generic, reminded me of raspberries juice and cough syrup.
Very sweet in taste, but once again very artificial. The berries taste covers everything else and leaves a fruity aftertaste as expected, only more sour.
Very thin on the body and to make things worse, a huge amount of carbonation, which in combination with the fruity aroma and taste, make you feel that you're drinking a carbonated berries juice.
I didn't have any high hopes for this beer, but it was even worse than I expected.

Bavaria 0,0% Rosé


ABV 0,0%



A bottle of 300 ml, at home. On RB is not considered a beer for a number of reasons that I can't really understand. To me, since it has water, hops and malts, is as beer as many others out there. Bottle says to roll it three times and then pour it. That, I didn't do. The bottle gave me a light pink coloured beer, quite hazy. One finger of head that dissolved quickly and left a very thin layer on the surface and some lacing around the glass.
Aroma is of fruits of course,  mostly raspberries and some strawberries. But underneath those smells someone can find the annoying corn smell, thankfully not so strong.
Taste is also of raspberries, very sweet. Leaves behind a subtle corn aftertaste.
Very thin body, almost watery, with light carbonation.
As someone can guess this is for people who are driving later, for pregnant women etc. With that in mind it's not that bad.

2.8/5
