Freonskip Read en Hitsich is an amber ale from Brouwerij de Freonskip in Burgum, Friesland. The name references blackberries – 'read' means red in Frisian – which shapes the character of this smooth, subtle beer. Toasted malt and dark bread notes lead the aroma, with hints of dried fruit and a light yeasty undertone.

The palate is notably bitter for the style, finishing dry and clean with a satisfying malt backbone.
