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.

Bottle. Mostly clear, copper body with some yeasty cloudyness and a nice but diminishing, dense, beige head. Sweetness, caramel, a little roastyness, some spicyness and hops in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and a bit fruity, roasted, and slightly coffee-ish, and has a touch of spices. Full to medium body and a long, sweet and a bit spiced finish with a nice bitterness. It’s brewed for Christmas, and I think it would do nice at Christmas time as well. A well-crafted brew. Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. (071027)
Bottle. It pours a clear amber body with a small beige head. Orange-peel, honey, caramel-notes and malt in the aroma. Actually a touch of alcohol too, but only a touch. In the mouth too, there’s orange-peel, tasting more like the white layer between the peel and the orange. There’s also honey, malt, a little grainy touch, a hint of alcohol, and a little bitterness. It’s more like orange-peel bitterness than hoppy bitterness. Full-bodied and with a pleasant carbonation level. Orange, honey, sweetness and bitterness blended nicely in the finish. Medium duration. Even though the honey and orange-peel are supposed to do a lot of the job, I would like it hoppier and more hop-bitter, but it’s a nice and quite delicious beer. Compared to other beers, it don’t deserve my rating, but on the other hand, I’m not sure where to cut down. And I usually don’t like honey in my beers either. Ended up lowering the overall by a point. (081028)

66 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange, with a dense white head. Mild grainy to sweet hoppy aroma. Flavour holds a slight orange peel note on top of a solid hops bitterness. Nice twsit to the hops, yet simple. Overly yeasty flavoured. Nice.
