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.

Draft at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. A hazy light yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of citrus and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of pommerans, leading to a dry wheaty finish. A bit too much pommerans for me. The body is thin.
