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.

600 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård. ABV is 6.0%. Copper colour, moderate off-white head. Nice aroma of orange peel and hops, hints of spices. Refreshing flavour, notes of oranges, cloves and hops, nice bitterness in the finish. Quite enjoyable. Must be excellent with the Danish Christmas duck.

Bottled at PBF. Clear amber, smal head. Overpowering sticky caramel aroma. Sweet with full sized body. Butterscotch rule this beer until it gets overly resiny in the finish. Very basic.

Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is wood, caramel malts, a lot of spices as well as some mild vegetably notes. Flavour is caramel malts, some mild grassyness, herbal notes and some smoke. A bit dull in flavour, but aroma was pleasant.

Draught at Cockney Pub, Århus
Hazy amber color, creamy head. It has a grassy, manure aroma. Good body, quite smooth too; but the flavor, besides the caramel and some cinnamon, is also metallic, with ashtray-like burnt malt and too strong bitterness. Wrong.
