Royal Unibrew, Denmark
6.5% Red Beer
Sweetened with sugar and fruit juice, so the net effect is closer to an alco-pop or a shandy. The taste is quite mellow, with noticeable hops on the finish. The overall effect is pleasant.
Where to drink it: Take a six-pack with you on your next romantic mountain getaway and enjoy a couple as you contemplate the snowy peaks.
Pairing: Drink it as a dessert beer, maybe with a cheese tray or a fondue.
