Roggenbier
Roggenbier is a traditional Bavarian rye beer made with at least 50% malted rye, which provides a distinctive spicy flavor profile with notes of bread crust and mild sourness. It has a characteristic dark copper to reddish-brown color, low to moderate hop bitterness, and a medium-full body with a creamy texture. Historically popular before the Bavarian Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) of 1516, Roggenbier experienced a revival in the late 20th century, with Paulaner's Roggen being a notable commercial example.
