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.

Thisted Bryghus – Thy Økologisk Hvede

Leave a reply

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 received this Danish take on a weissbier, as a present form family, for my birthday. It is a biodynamic beer in a 500 ml glass bottle at 5% alcohol level.

It is a beautiful deep orange color with a medium sized head of foam. The head disperses quite quickly.

The aroma comes off with a medium strength wheaten and slightly sweet fruit notes.

Full bodied and balanced in the taste. Goes from wheat to banana in notes. A good overall sweetness and goes into a more regular wheat aftertaste. Not too sweet and not too bitter.

Overall rating 86 / 100.

Danevang – Hvedeøl

Leave a reply

This biodynamic wheat beer comes in at 4.8% alcohol in a 500 ml glass bottle. It is brewed and bottled at Skanderborg Bryghus, but branded by North Retail. I was given this wheat beer as a birthday present by family.

Good head with fine structured foam. White and fluffy, staying for a good while.

Light yellow in the color with a solid haziness to it. Deeper yellow towards the top of the glass.

A, less than, medium strength aroma that comes off with notes of wheat and sweet fruits. Slight hints of bitter hops.

Good CO2 level with a fresh and bubbling wheated fruit in the taste. A little to the thin side and not bitter at all, but not sweet either. It lands somewhere in the middle and could perhaps be too anonymous. Good balance and refreshing.

Biodynamic / organic beers always get a plus more in my book. I want pure beer.

Vadehavsbryggeriet – Blåvand Hvede

Leave a reply

I bought this bio-dynamic wheat beer from a supermarket in Odense, Denmark at the price of 3 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,8%

Slightly hazy and yellow in the colour.

Large head with a fine foam on the top.

Good wheat and fruited aroma with pleasant notes to it.

Good full bodied taste that is in balance. Hops and wheat joins up in a nice play. Slightly too weak CO2. Some bitterness in the after taste. Biodynamic beer holds a special place in my heart, just next to the German Beer Purity law.
