Duchessa, our spelt beer, is a typical product from our territory. Inspired by traditional Belgian Saisons, it persuadues you with its pleasentness and fresh elegance. The creamy and abundant head releases fruity (banana, pineapple, tropical fruit) and floral aromas which are animated by a slight pepperiness. Its fine carbonation, slight acidity and moderate hop profile make for a fresh beer that is never overpowering and is pleasant from start to finish.

75 cl bottle @ Ølfestival København 2012
Aroma is rather stale with some orange and yeast. Almost no CO2 at all. Flavour is yeasty with some citron and orange notes. Like drinking a bun dough with homemade mead.

Bottle. Gold with a white head that fades quickly to a cm. Aroma is floral and lemony with grain and little honey. Fairly light bodied, could use a few more bubbles. Taste is sweet with honey and more than slightly exotic grain. Slightly bitter finish with some spices. For me wanted for a lick more of tartness and/or bitterness, but there’s plenty of intrigue.

Sampled at Bir&Fud, 100ml, draught. Cloudy amber coloured body. Fading white head, fragile lacing. Grassy hops to the nose with dough-like malts. Herbal hops, dough and hints of honey in flavour, as well as a touch of wheat. Soft bittersweet end. Refreshing and easy to drink (Roma, 30.03.2012).

Golden with a small white head. Malty aroma of biscuit and bread crust, with herbal and earthy notes. Sweetish malty flavour with a fruity touch and a little spice and yeast. Full body. Some herbal hops and a good bitterness in the finish.

Bottle at The Kernel, thanks to Ed. Pours a lightly hazy gold with a creamy, white cap. Doughy malt aroma. It’s an old bottle and you can detect some age, though it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Medium to big sweet flavor, lots of doughy bread, some white sugar, light caramel. Medium in body with average carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly sticky, bread, dough, caramel. Very nice beer.

Bottle from Tanakaya. 75 cl. Aroma of lemony hops, some grass, clean, light honey and biscuity malt, refreshing as hell, if not so complex. Almost clear golden, with a soapy, thick head. Maltier in the mouth, with bread, lemon, grass, herbs, soap, earth. The emmer comes through in a grainy, bready way. Not sure it adds to the flavor. Refreshing, wheaty, crisp, and nice hops throughout, but the nose is better than the taste. Sweetness is restrained, as is the fruit, and the finish is nicely hoppy, getting yeasty as we neared the bottom of the bottle. Very drinkable.
