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.

Draft. A deep red beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of fruit and yeast - reminds me of the yeast used at Apollo. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and light notes of fruit and bread, leading to a lightly bitter finish. Not much Saison over this beer, I find it boring.

On tap. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Sweetish, fruity nose with a whiff of butter. Medium body, sweetish fruit and caramel. Lightly bitter finish. Not much Saison character here, this is a rather bland Belgian Ale. 080409

Cloudy amber with a firm and lasting white head. Sweet and fruity aroma with caramel notes. Very sweet and malty flavour. Sadly, too straightforward, and it lacks the spicy complexity I was looking for. A decent amber ale, but not much of a saison...

Bottle, 75cl corked, from trade with Papsoe. It pours a clear, dark golden body under a minimal-sized beige head. Caramel, some alcohol and dried fruits in the aroma, maybe a bit boring. The flavor is much the same, with caramel, sugars, some roasted malt and a fine bitterness. Not as boring, but much the same. Finishes with a fine bitterness. Full-bodied and warming. A quite decent beer, but it’s a bit one-dimentional. (090327)

(Draught at Lord Nelson, Copenhagen, 13 Feb 2009) Reddish amber colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dark fruit and some citrussy hops. Malty taste with notes of caramel, dark fruit and an almost too balanced citrussy bitterness in the finish. Fairly balanced beer, but I would expect some more hops from an IPA.
