Description
On a small abandoned farm back in 2002 William Frank and Else Birk started a small brew house focusing on quality and good craftsmanship. The brewery was not far from where the Grauballe man (a bog body that was uncovered in 1952 from a peat bog) was found - hence the name Grauballe Bryghus.

Grauballe Bryghus was in these premises until the year 2013. By then it had grown so big that it was time to move to larger premises where it is today.

Bottled. Hazy orange/brown. Interesting perfumy aroma. Sweet with dense, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Perfumy orange dominates the flavour profile, hops seem subdued.

Bottle from the splendid Ølbutikken in Copenhagen. Orange all over - in colour, nose and taste. Fading head. Full bodied. Some hops in the body and a sweetness of honey towards the end. Presented as an unusual xmas beer, but should be perfect for the springtime season as well (sampled with Finn, 27.01.2006)

Bottle - thanks to Lut and Joris for sharing.
Amber, murky body. Off-white head. Very refined aroma of fine malts and hops. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Moderately bitter finish. Quite complex, well-balanced flavour. Nice by a rather simplicity.

Fully hazy dull amber with small head, leaving some lace. Powerful dry fresh C-hops nose, hopbails. Faraway some smoked, dry meat, and smoked grain. Liquorice, malt syrup and an indestructible hopsflavour make out the taste. Sweetness goes from liquorice to full maltose, and restsugars. Not really bitter, but very balanced. Very thick, nearly chewy MF. Alcohol is detectable, but discreet. Very good pseudo-American Danish "big" beer. But once more, very well conceived.

Bottled. Amber colour, rich, lively head. Light orange aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with roundd mouthfeel. The alcohol is noticable. Orangey finish with medium bitterness. There’s not really that much going on here, so considering the quality of Grauballe’s other products this is a bit of a disappointment, although it is certainly not bad.

Bottle. Nice creamy head with medium duration. Nice amber color. Taste is very alcoholic and very bitter as well. Maybe this was a bad brew. Had to pour the rest out in drain.

Bottle. Bright golden. White head. Sweet, sourish orange taste. The honey makes a "heavy" impression all the way from the smell to the aftertaste. Some bitterness towards the end. Labeled as a Christmas beer. Seems more like a beer suitable for the Easter. KI=6
