Description
Hornbeer is a farmhouse brewery founded in the beginning of 2008 by Gunhild and Jorgen Fogh Rasmussen. The first brewery was very small, brewing only 300 liter batches. But end of July 2008 the brewery burnt down to the ground. Now Gunhild and Jorgen had to start again from scratch. In January 2009 the new brewery started operations. Nowadays the production is around 2000 hl/year. Hornbeer is well known for a very different assortment. Hornbeer´s philosophy is that the beers should be distinctive but still very drinkable.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with a small, white head. Sweet malt dominates the aroma. Medium body, initially sweet malt before a rather prominent bitterness sets in. Personally I could have wished a little more hop aroma and a little less hop bitterness. But it's a soid Pils. 111120

500 ml bottle, bought in August at Erling Christensen Møbler, Sindal. ABV is 10%. Slowly gushing bottle, the glass fills completely by white (or slightly off-white) foam. A hazy brown beer appears slowly underneath. Vinous aroma, notes of ripe fruits and vinegar, hints of spices. Very sweet / sugary (too sweet) and malty flavour, oxidised, notes of prunes, raisins and syrup. Noticeable alcohol. Not the best beer from Hornbeer.
