A crown of creamy, off-white foams adorns the top of this regal beer and persists almost indefinitely, leaving behind a beautiful lacing of foam in the glass which each swig. It was hopped for a smooth, balancing, bitterness in the kettle with Hallertau Mittelfrüh and German Tettnanger hops, fermented cool with a Bavarian festbier yeast strain, then lagered cold for months.Ĭoat of Arms pours a brilliant, ruby-red hue into a glass, reminiscent of a precious gemstone gleaming in the light. We brewed this traditional lager with 100% German including Barke Pilsner, Barke Vienna, CaraRed, CaraMunich, Melanoidin, and a touch of Chocolate Rye. While much of the popular Bavarian beer culture centers around Munich, the Franconians in the northern part of Bavaria have been practicing their own unique brewing customs as well, gathering in local taverns to bask in the crimson glow of the “Nuremberg red beer” for centuries. We get notes of Polish wildflower meadows, spicy herb garden, daisies, marjoram, honey, lemongrass, cracker with black pepper, sweet white corn, and noble hops.ĥ.6% ABV | Franconian-Style Rotbier LagerĬoat of Arms is a rotbier, or Franconian-style “red beer,” an elusive, German-style lager with a rich history of brewing dating back to the Middle Ages. The flavor opens with delicate malt sweetness that is quickly met and balanced by moderate bitterness and pleasant noble hop character, resulting in a crisp, dry, and refreshing finish. Winged Hussars pours a brilliant, light gold color into a glass and froths with a gorgeous white cap of foam that releases a bouquet of floral, herbal, and spicy hop aromatics. This easy-drinking, international, golden lager was brewed with floor malted pilsner and hopped gently in the kettle for balance with Slovenian Styrian Fox and Polish Lubelski.Īfter a cool fermentation, this light-bodied brew was transferred to a horizontal lagering tank for an extended period of cold conditioning. Winged Hussars is our take on a Polish-Style lager that incorporates ingredients grown in Eastern Europe as well right here at home in New Jersey.
