Gallus 612 Old Style Ale

What the brewery say

The Gallus 612 is brewed with the finest emerald aroma hops, seasoned with juniper and fermented with original top-fermented ale yeast. The maturation on oak wood completes the drinking pleasure. Natural and proud, this ale appears; creamy, light brown foam. In the nose, it unfolds a variety of aroma notes, light caramel notes. In the mouth, it impresses with roasted and fruit flavors: banana, accompanied by noble juniper and fine oak wood barrel flavors. In short, a full-bodied taste experience.

Where we drank it

In early June on the Taminaschlucht Rundtour circular hike from Bad Ragaz in Kanton St. Gallen through the Tamina Gorge. Gallus 612 Old Style Ale from Brauerei Schützengarten accompanied our pasta salad lunch as we sat beside the former Porta Romana trading road, overlooking the rolling hills and mountains in the background.

The beer is a dark reddish brown with a frothy white head. The drink has an aroma of juniper and light wood and tastes of oak with a hint of chocolate.
