4. GlühBierMix by Steinbach Beverages GmbH

84 points

To reach the 7th heaven, you have to have aromatic heights to push you to an experience that grabs you in the first interaction, we thought this was the right way to put how the beer catches you in the first go and there’s no other way to say that it’s a must-try and has to be considered with its charm that consists of a creamy mouthfeel and a soft head. Its carbonic acid nitrogen release is the reason why it contains the explosion of flavours for an amazing aftertaste finish.

A gloriously dark and rich fruity aromatic drink that combines all the flavours to give the drinker an experience of drinking a divine beverage that has a hint of herbs and caramel with a touch of dark chocolate.
