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.

The aroma is light sweet with notes of oranges and other fruits. The beer has an unclear orange color and a small fast disappearing head. The flavor is a very nice sweetness from a good maltblend. It has a softness to it. In the middle it turns a little thin but end on a very nice bitterness. A really nice beer - better than the 80sh.

Hazy red color. Light malt aroma. Quite sweet and malty, probably missing a roasted malt character for being a Scottish Ale, and also missing some more hop.

Mahogany colour. Vague peat aroma. Low hop rate and very malt accented, yet light bodied. Dominated by a velvetty soft fine malt flavour. Woody finish with very low bitterness.

A brown beer with a light brown head. Second to non aroma. The flavor is slightly sour with a nice overall flavor containing hints of smoke and chocolate. A nice ale - and a great renewal in danish brewing.
