Astra Rotlicht is a brilliantly fine beer in a light red gold colour with a fine to medium-pored, persistent head. The aroma reveals flavours of grain and a fine smoky aroma, paired with a nutty note. The first sip is somewhat restrained, but quickly develops a soft mouthfeel with a hint of herbal bitterness. Malt notes and gentle, bitter herbal nuances accompany the finish of this beer and ensure a complex but harmonious flavour experience.
