Lottrup – Hvede Ale

Leave a reply

“Lottrup” is a brand belonging to the Royal Unibrew group, based in Faxe, Denmark. The Lottrup range of beers is a tribute to the original founder of the Ceres breweries, Malthe Conrad Lottrup, whose breweries are now a part of the Royal Unibrew group.

Not sure where I got this beer from, but I assume I bought it at the local supermarket. It comes in a 330 ml glass bottle at 4.8% alcohol.

It looks great with its hazy orange color and large head of coarse foam with a fine top. The head stays on the beer for the duration of drinking it.

Good sweet and balanced wheat notes in the aroma along with a few hints of fruit.

Good CO2 level with a good wheat taste, but a bit too thin in the combined taste picture. Slightly bitter in the after taste.

Overall rating 76 / 100

Ayinger brewery is located in Aying in Bavaria, Germany. The brewery was founded in 1877.

I bought this beer in a local wine shop in Odense, Denmark at the price of 5 Euro for a 500 ml glass bottle at 5,8%.

Thick hazy brown and yellow notes in the color. No head or foam worth mentioning.

Good medium strength aroma with notes of wheat and fruit. Balanced and mild aroma.

Good CO2 level. Full of fruit taste, balanced with mild bitter and darkness notes. Darkness and bitterness dominates the after taste.

Albani Schiøtz – Nordisk Hvede Witbier

Leave a reply

Albani Brewery is located in Odense, Denmark and was established in 1859 by three local business owners and of these the most famous is Theodor Schiøtz. Albani expanded in Odense and also bought up another nine breweries in Denmark over the course of almost 100 years. In 2000 Albani became a part of Royal Unibrew and remains there today.

I bought this 750 ml bottle at 4.3% in a supermarket in Odense, Denmark at the price of 4.5 Euro. A Nordic take on the witbier.

Good glow to the yellow beer, with deep orange notes to the colour.

Rough structured head with a fine foam on top, quickly disperses into a thin layer.

Medium sweet fruit in the aroma, no traces of the added rose hip or common juniper, perhaps a little yeast note is to be found.

Full bodied sweetness with a good balance to the CO2. Wheated notes, despite being a little too anonymous, makes it a good composition which only leaves me to wish for a longer after taste.

Overall rating 79 / 100

Hjort – Orange Weissbier

Leave a reply

Hjort Brewery was founded by Carsten Hjort in 2015, in Nørresundby, Denmark. He started out brewing beer from his basement at home. Later on, some of the more popular beers are put in production at larger breweries.

I bought this biodynamic beer somewhere. I forgot. Its a 330 ml glass bottle at 5.1% alcohol.

Beautiful deep orange in the color with some red notes to it.

No head or foam worth mentioning.

Lovely sweet wheat aroma with powerful notes of fruit from the wheat.

Good CO2 level, good wheat and fruit combination, balances really well. Slightly darkness in the after taste, a bit too thin, could have been more powerful. That is some of the only critique there is.

Overall rating 87 / 100.
