Kopparberg Fruit Lager Lemon & Lime beer 8x500ml bottles

Product Information

We wanted to position ourselves apart from both the low-abv fruit lagers and the traditional craft fruit beers that are lower-abv or heavy and ­full-bodied,” he said, adding the newcomer’s alcohol volume reinforced the drink’s “premium positioning”.

For example, two pounds of raspberries may be perfect in your five gallons of strong stout, but the same amount in a session wheat beer could be overwhelmed with raspberry character. Also, take into account whether or not the fruit has a strong acidic quality, which will require more consideration in creating a balance between the fruit and base beer. Region: Delaware, USA | ABV: 7% | IBU: 28 | Tasting Notes: Nutmeg, pumpkin, cinnamon | Style: Brown ale The 5% abv lemon & lime tipple will join lower-strength fruit-flavoured beers of recent years, including Carling Zest and Carlsberg Citrus - both 2.8% abv - and the 2% abv Foster’s Radler, but are “nothing like anything other brewers had produced”, said customer marketing manager Rob Salvesen. The Brettanomyces is a bit lighter in the flavor and quite complementary. A light red wine character develops in the aftertaste. The complex fruit, sourness and wild yeast combine to create a complex and quite enjoyable barrel aged beer. Pinot Fresa is a well-brewed barrel-aged fruit beer. Perhaps a slight taming of the lactic sourness would create a more balanced beer, but only slightly. Quite refreshing and one that should not be passed up."
