Wolnzacher Roggenbier

Dirty orange pour with a disconcerting amount of nasty looking sediment. I have no problems with bottle-conditioned and unfiltered beers, but when we get to this level of debris swirling around in the glass it really doesn’t look at all appetizing. The troubling thing is that the level of carbonation coupled with the size and amount of sediment combine to give a real nasty looking mess in the glass that almost seems to be alive! Huge carbonation on the pour that strangely faded to leave no head or lacing. What’s up with that?

Somewhat of an acidic type aroma in there, with only a little rye. Some smokiness in there too which is replicated in the initial tastes.

Pretty light body with a definite citrus lemon twang. Quite a sharp finish but not much bitterness.

Didn’t care for this much, looked poor and didn’t do much else for me from that starting position.
