Ærø Bryggeri – Økologisk Pilsner

Ærø Bryggeri got its name in 2020, but has a long history behind it. In the small village of Rise, on the island of Ærø, the brewery have made beer from 1926 up to 1961. It was first reopened in 2004, as a new stock based cooperation.

I bought this beer from tap, on the Island Ærø, Denmark. Local beer bought where it is produced. The price was properly around 8€ for a 500ml glass at 3.9% alcohol.

Good looking yellow to orange in the color. Slightly hazy and no foam.

Fresh and light hops in the aroma.

Okay CO2 level, lots of hops and slight bitterness. The bitterness gains more power in the after taste.

Brewed like a German pils and is non pasteurized.

Overall rating 82 / 100

Lowlander – White Ale

Lowlander is a brewery located in the Netherlands. Lowlander brews with botanicals, meaning they put a large range of herbs and fruit into their brews. Founded by Frederik Kampman in around 2017 – 2018, as age of brewery is only given in years on their website, who knows?

I bought this 330 ml bottle at 5% from a wine shop in Odense, Denmark at the price of 4 Euro.

Light yellow in the colour with a white tone to it. There is a few big chunks of sediment, be careful with drinking bottoms up.

No head or very little foam.

Medium strength aroma that has a sweet and fresh fruit aroma, good balance with the hops.

Okay CO2 level, dominating wheat in the taste with notes of sweet fruit, just a slight hint of citrus and bitterness. Good balance.

Overall rating 75 / 100
