About
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 at EBF08. Very weak aroma for style. Clear dark chestnut colour. The flavour is quite mild, slightly caramelly. Hint of spicy hops and yeast. Not flavourful enough for style and ABV.

Big light beige lasting head leaves dense lace. Clear deep amber body. Fruity citric hop aroma with chalky notes. Dry-sweet tropical citric fruit taste with alcohol notes. Somewhat chalky, and a bit dense in mouthfeel. Short aftertaste. Not great. (0.1l taster from bottle at EBF ’08, thanks to Beer_2000.)

90% head when first poured. Tan lasting head. Hazy brown body with strong carbonation. Fruity citric orangey aroma with lacquer notes. Sweet-dry peppery fruity spicy taste with wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Flat, dusty fizzy mouthfeel. Bitter chalky fruity aftertaste with herbal notes. Weird, and probably lightly infected. Rated twice: when not infected citrusy hops dominate. (0.5l bottle, Fish & Beer, Copenhagen. Also EBF ’08.)
