Aarhus Bryghus Julebryg at 6% is the mild of our two Christmas seasonals. It is a Danish Christmas tradition to stick cloves in an orange and hang it from a silk ribbon. Imagine the orange hanging over the fermentation vessel and the ribbon bursting, and you get Julebryg. The acidity of the orange juice freshens up the beer. The cloves are just as discreet as they are in all the traditional Danish cold luncheon dishes, where it seems cloves are in almost every dish.

The beer thus is extremely suitable as an accompaniment to the Danish Christmas luncheon or for the unformal get-togethers that are so popular at Christmas time.

Amber color with a fine tan head. Ok lacing. Caramel malty, bready and some faint spices in the aroma. Medium + body. A bit sweet and a moderate bitterness. Average carbonation. Bready, toffee, fruity, grassy and some faint spices. Not good at all.

Bottle at home. Has a clear and amber colour with a beige head. The aroma is sweet with some caramel, leather, wood and bread. The flavour is similar with more leather and some hops. A little dry. Mouth feel is watery and light, and has also a pretty light bitterness. A careful and a little boring Christmas beer. Easy drinking.

Bottle, 66cl. A clear, dark golden to amber beer topped by a dense, off-white head. Almost sewer-like aroma, sourish notes, some orange and pale malts. Lightly sourish flavor, with fruityness and a maltyness. Cloves? Some bitterness towards the very end. Medium body, soft carbonation. Fruity, lighlty sourish finish. This is definitely not a beer I’ll have again. 130119

60 cl bottle, shared. Label says 6.0% alc. Clear, copper colour with a medium sized off-white head. Spicy aroma with orange peel, caramel malts and hops. Taste is light sweet. Medium body, oily texture, and a soft carbonation. Ends with oranges, cloves and hops, nice bitterness in the finish. Better than earlier ratings might suggest.

Bottle. Pours perfect copper brown with airy white head. Light aroma of malt and rye bread. Sourish, watery taste of rye bread. Nothing special. Definitely overpriced in Denmark.

Medium offwhite head. Amber body with light carbonation. Grainy strawy earthy aroma with papery notes. Dry-sweet grainy caramelly rye crisp bread taste with dusty cinnamon notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Dry, almost bitter, grainy herbal rye crisp bread afteraste with roasty dandelion notes. Taste is quite nice, but loses a little because of the sharp bitterness. (0.6l bottle, gift from family.)
