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.

(33cl bottle, with thanks to Hildigöltur & Dixen!) Hazy, amber coloured hue with micro particles and a short off-white creamy layer. Sweet malty and aromatic fruity (lemon, orange) nose with a dash of woody hops. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium bodied, soft and well-matured carbonation with a creamy mouthfeel. Malty, fruity and floral taste, quite intense but far away from being perfumed; quite dry and slim, soft malty and citrousy hoppy finish with a zesty aftertaste. Aromatic Ale, every time again.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2007
Hazy blond color. It smells bad, manure. Poor flavor, with a hint of manure again. Simple, dry Ale, with off flavors...

Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2007
Muddy blond color. Strong aroma, malt, dry, coriander, juniper. Not sticky, but quite sweet anyway, with some malt, and the yeast leaves some fruitness; almonds, sweet oranges, orange blossoms. Highly chaotic, but enjoyable. Lightly Belgian.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Very dark ruby, lasting beige head. Little bit empty in mouth. Some choc, over carbonated. Thin. Some sour molasses. Dullish but the liquorice is interesting.
