The Neuzeller Klosterbräu Cherry Beer is a ruby-red fruit beer from the Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle in Brandenburg, whose brewing site is closely linked to the Neuzelle Monastery and dates back to the year 1416, when monks began brewing beer there. The base is a bock beer made from water, barley malt, and hops, refined with cherry mother juice and invert sugar syrup, thus retaining a distinct beer character at 4.8% ABV. Even when poured, the beer emits an intensely fruity aroma and surprises with its rich, ruby-red color and a delicate, light foam crown. On the palate, it combines the pronounced taste of juicy cherries with fine malt notes and a subtle hop spiciness, where fruity sweetness and light acidity harmoniously interplay, and the finish is malty yet tart-fruity. Chilled and best served from a champagne glass, the cherry beer pairs well with fruity desserts, cheese, and chutneys. Bottled in a 0.5-liter reusable bottle, it contains gluten-containing grains and represents the creative compositions of the monastery brewery according to the motto "Every beer an original."
