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.

Big coarseish offwhite head. Amber body with vigorous carbonation. Chalky citric hop aroma with tropical fruit notes. Yeasty sharp fizzy hoppy barnyard taste with citric tropical fruit notes. Some phenol as well. Dry sharpish dandelion aftertaste. Not bad, but certainly not perfect, either. (0.1l taster at EBF’08.)
