Störtebeker – Roggen-Weizen

Störtebeker brewery was founded in 1862 in Stralsund, Germany. The first big expansion of the brewery was in 1899 where the building now had brewing going on on multiply stocks.

I bought this 500 ml glass bottled dunkel rye and wheat weissbier, in a local supermarket on the island of Rügen, Germany. The price for this beer, at 5.4% alcohol, was 1.29 Euro.

Deep orange and brown in the color, hazy and lots of fine sediment, all part of the beer, not big chunks.

Nice big head with a fine brown foam on top.

A clear dark fruit aroma with lots of depth and wheat to it.

Good CO2 level, full-bodied wheat and sweet fruits in the taste. Good dark notes and well balanced between the rye, barley and wheat. After taste is not that powerful, no bitterness, just a fading darkness.

Overall rating 83 / 100
