Our Brown Ale is the first beer we started making at the brewery in 2001, after making soft drinks since 1997. Fortunately it was such a success that it won an organic gold medal in 2002. After that, there was no holding us back in our beer adventure. Brown Ale is a full-bodied, creamy beer made with American hops. They lend the beer a delightful, yet discreet citrus-fruit aroma alongside caramelised and toasted malt. It tastes sweet and rich with notes of toffee, chocolate, coffee and liquorice with a mellow sweetness and mild, hoppy bitterness.

Little or no head; dark brown beer, carbonated like an aged beer. Burnt, caramelized nose, chocolate, brown bread. Mild toasted bread taste, a bit sweet at first, but gradually bitter builds up, not from hops but from dark malts. Not very refined. Warming up, I get again oxydised notes. Bit dryish, powdery, burnt, rather thin texture. Strange - OK for a brown, not exactly my favourite style.

A red-brown beer with a beutiful orange-brown head. The aroam is sweet with obvious notes of Ørbæk yeast, malt, and roasted bread. The flavor is sweet - way too sweet for me - with notes of roasted bread, malt, lots of caramel, and some hops, that prickles the tongue.

A beutiful brown beer but no head. It has a nice aroma of mix of malts (I think I detect some smoked malt?) and maybe some spices too. It is a nice silky feel and a good sweet malty taste, that ends in a good bitterness.

Fairly "dark" sugary nose with colormalt edges and some acidic fruityness. Somewhat cloudy red color with a low creamy head and low carbonation. Nourishing dark and bready malts dominate, a slight touch of hops as well. This contrasts a bit with a surprisingly light body. Roasted aftertaste.

Amber color, just hazy; thin head. Rather poor aroma. Fresh taste, simple, drinkable, not too much carbonation; strange/original light taste of vegetables (topinambur, Jerusalem artichoke). Ordinary palate.
