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.

Draught at Ølfestival 2008, Århus
Hazy dark chestnut color. Light aroma, with sweet wood and apples, and an imagination of smoke. It doesn’t have much body, even weaker at the end; there is some mild caramel flavor and very light smoked touch, light apples; the final is a bit harsh. This one as well shows some problems, with the lagering probably.

Draught at Ølfestival 2008, Århus
Hazy amber color. It has an apple aroma and flavor, so I think the fermentation had some trouble... Some caramel flavor, low bitterness. Too simple.

Draught at Ølfestival 2008, Århus
Cloudy amber color. It has a mild hop aroma, and apples (again?), less interesting than the Festival IPA. But the mouthfeel is better, robust, with good malt and toffee flavor, sweet, and with a good bitterness, pleasant both for its strength and aromatic power. A very good American IPA.
