When the first mate on a Bornholmian cutter returns to dock, he needs to skillfully maneuver the vessel. A swift turn, full reverse and then he jumps across with the towline. Just as the fishermen know their job, so too do we know our craft. Our Craft Pilsner is a land-locked pale lager, with a swagger and a baseline of Danish barley malt, plus a good load of hops in the cargo bay. There is a taste of fresh grain, hops flowers and juicy fruits. Fermented with Svaneke Bryghus' legendary bottom-fermenting yeast and mixed with hops variants Opal and Callista.

Pretty good beer
Not so easy for me to distinguish and name the different flavors, and I'm still a beer rating noob ;)
But it has some both fresh and "old" qualities to it
Not bad

Tap at BrewStock 2021. Hazy golden body, white head. Spicy herbal hoppy aroma... maybe slightly buttery, but not sure. Soft, bready malt backbone in the taste, with a solid herbal bitterness in the finish. A bit on the flat side, but okay anyway.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit, straw, and a bit of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and a bit of caramel, leading to a bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Craft Pilsner on 02 Jan 2025 at 18:06 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.
