Svendborgsund Bryghus – Sol over sundet

I bought this 500 ml bottled wheat beer with added elderflower cordial, at 4.9% alcohol, in a wine shop in Rudkøbing, Langeland, Denmark at the price of 6 Euro.

The presentation of the beer is great. Thick hazy yellow with orange notes.

A medium sized head with a fine foam.

Fruity and elderflower in the medium strength aroma.

Powerful CO2, a sweet fruit dominates the taste. Aftertaste is a bit more mysterious with notes of dark ale.

Overall rating 80 / 100

Thisted Bryghus – Rød Thy

Thisted Bryghus was founded in 1908 where it bought up the broke Thisted Aktiebryggeri that had existed for a mere 10 years before it had to close. The brewery is mainly owned by local people holding shares in the brewery. Thisted bryghus is located in Thisted in Denmark.

I found the red and blue Thy craft beers at a local supermarket in Odense, Denmark. Price was around 3-4 Euro for a 500 ml bottle beer at 3.5%. A product advertised as a light beer for lunches.

Rød Thy is a Belgian wheat beer with added flavours.

Rosa-yellow in the color, slightly hazy and with a fine foamed head.

Fruit and fresh hops in the aroma.

Good CO2, wine-like and light rose notes. Elderflower cordial in the taste. Feels too light from the low alcohol level.

Overall rating 76 / 100
