Hvidtøl

Ørbæk Hvidtøl is brewed based on the old traditions that date back to 1906, when the brewery first started making beer. At that time, the brewery made white beer in 5 liter picket bottles for the local population, who were mainly farmers at the time. This beer was dark, as a result of the malt being dried by burning in the keg. This resulted in a toasted, burnt and smoky taste in the beer and a high sweetness. The beer was also low in alcohol percentage, which meant that the farmers could drink it without being particularly affected. Ørbæk Hvidtøl is a product of this history, and is therefore the most original in taste in our range. It does not have a particularly high alcohol percentage, but it does have a high nutritional content with notes of licorice, smoke, chocolate and coffee as a consequence of a hard roasting of the malt.
