White Dog

Leave a reply

GS6A2384Tou brewery in Stavanger, Norway was closed in 2003 and as a reaction Lervig aktiebryggeri was founded to still have a brewery in Stavanger. The beer was at first made by another brewery before the brewery got their own production in 2005.

I bought this beer in a local beer shop in Oslo, Norway at the price of 3,2 Euro for a 330ml bottle at 4,7%

Very light yellow almost with white tones in the colour.

A head of fine bubbles that stay.

A light fruit aroma.

Bubbly and fresh, weak in the taste with no bitterness or notes. It is too light in the taste and can seem watery. Poetry and a nice looking label.

GS6A2383

Midtfyns brew house was founded in 2004 in Årslev, Denmark. It is a micro brewery that started out brewing beer on license from Scotland but since 2006 they have used their own recipes and develop their own new beers.

I bought this beer in a local wine shop in Odense, Denmark at the price of 6 Euro for a 500ml bottle at 6,2%

The colour is orange with mostly brown glow and notes too it, due to its heavy residue and being unfiltered.

The head is good, but disappears quickly and leaves a thin layer.

The aroma is fresh and fruity with a hint of bitterness.

Very low CO2, hops shines through and the fruit feels anonymous. The after taste is pleasent, the bitterness is low and good and it hides its high alcohol level very good.

Haandbryggeriet – Bavaria

Leave a reply

GS6A2084Haandbryggeriet is a small hand brewery located in Drammen, Norway. Four guys that used to brew at home moved into a old horse stable in 2005 and in 2011 they got a large premise with room for more tanks.

I bought this bottle of re-fermented, unfiltered and non pasteurized beer in a local supermarket in Lillestrøm, Norway at a price of 6 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 4,5%

Light yellow unfiltered beer.

Head starts out big and settles down to a thin layer.

Aroma is fresh and with a hint of bitter fruit.

Good CO2 with the same slightly bitter fruit from the aroma in the taste with a good sweetness along it, after taste dominated by the bitterness over the fruit.

It is a wheat beer called Bavaria and thus I look upon it as weissbier. Price is on the expensive side.

GB Weiss Bier

GS6A1142

The Gourmet Brewery was founded in 2005 in Denmark, today the two originally owners are no longer a part of the brewery and it is owned by the Harboe brewery group.

I bought this beer in a local supermarket in Odense, Denmark at the price of 1,5 Euro for a 500 ml can at 4,8%.

The colour is yellow and looks filtered, there is lack of sediment for this beer type.

Very rough head that disappears quickly.

The aroma is a lovely fruit aroma.

Light bubbly CO2 with a hint of fruit, fast after taste and the alcohol is dominating. This beer reminds me more of a witbier than a weissbier.

GS6A2020

Störtebeker brewery was founded in 1862 in Stralsund, Germany. The first big expansion of the brewery was in 1899 where the building now had brewing going on on multiply stocks.

I bought this beer at Systembolaget in Vimmerby, Sweden. 2,75 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,2%

A good looking yellow unfiltered beer with a orange glow.

A nice big head with a thin fine layer on top, as the head settles a fine layer is left behind.

A good fruitful aroma with a hint of wheat.

Tasting it, the CO2 bubbles up fast and dies just as fast. The fruit is flat, a little watery and a little bitterness shines through.

GS6A1961

Theresianer brewery is located in Trieste, Italy. The brewery was founded in 1766 by Mr. Lenz, he obtained permission from Maria Teresa’s government to open the city’s first  brewery.

I bought this beer at Vinmonopolet in Oslo, Norway. Price was 4,5 Euro for a 330 ml bottle at 5,1%.

Yellow unfiltered look with a faint orange glow to it.

Head is low and rough, disappears instantly.

A very faint aroma that can not be identified as anything specific.

A lot of CO2 makes a good bubbly taste with a little fruit taste, it is like the after taste starts right away. For a wit there is really nothing wit about it. Lack of aroma and spices in the taste.

Ægir bryggeri – Siv Witbier

GS6A1960

Ægir brwery is located in Flåm, Norway and was founded in 2007.

I bought this beer at Vinmonopolet in Oslo, Norway at the price of 8 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,5%

Yellow unfiltered beer with a faint orange glow to it.

Head is small and fades out fast to almost nothing.

Aroma comes off with a hint of fruit and a more dominating flower.

Very little CO2, which unfortunately leaves it a bit dull, as the otherwise nicely balanced coriander and orange makes the taste. The bottle fermentation did not produce enough CO2. Prices on beer and alcohol is in general very high in Norway.

GS6A2019

Bryggerigården was founded in 2007 and is a micro brewery located in Vejle, Denmark.

I bought this beer in a local supermarket in Denmark at 1,5 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,1%.

A brown colour with a bit of orange glow to the bottom with enough light.

A big rough head settles to fine layer after a minute.

The aroma is faint fruit with a hint of caramel.

Taste comes off with a good CO2, a fruit that makes more of itself in the after taste than at first, but still a little too anonymous, not much darkness to the taste. Too watery.

GS6A1950Tucher brewery is located in Nürnberg, Germany. The brewery produced beer for the hospitals since 1643, but the official founding date for the brewery is 1672. In 1806 the brewery became a royal Bayern brewery as the King bought it. It was sold off to in 1855 to the Dr.-Lorenz-Tucher-Stiftung.

I bought this beer at Vinmonopolet in Oslo, Norway, which explains the price of 4,5 Euro for a 330 ml bottle at 5,2%.

The colour is a regular yellow unfiltered beer.

The head is rather small and settles quickly into a very thin layer.

The aroma comes off with a sweet fruit to it that is very inviting.

Heavy CO2 with a quick fruit taste, it fades almost as fast as you can drink it, there is still a slight after taste, but more along the lines of yeast than fruit.

Indslev bryggeri – Flora Wit

Leave a reply

GS6A1933Indslev brewery was established in 1897 by Frederik Christian Rasmussen. At some point the brewery was closed down, but in 2005 restored to former glory with brand new production equipment. The re-opening was made possible by Anders Busse Rasmussen, grand grand nephew of Frederik Christian Rasmussen.

There is a lot of sediment in the bottle.

The head is big and rough. It will quickly disperse to a thin fine layer.

The colour resembles the flora name with its orange colour with a rosé glow.

The aroma is a sweet fruit and flowery one.

A bubbly sensation with a little bitterness of flowers over it, the after taste continues with a tone of the flowers from the taste.

A wit brewed without  orange peels and coriander. Instead it is spiced with rose and hibiscus. A interesting take on the Belgian wit.
