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. An unclear orange beer with a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet spicy - especially coriander coming thru, but also with quite strong notes of yeast, and lesser notes of alcohol and citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, spices (primarily coriander), and citrus. The mouthfeel is very smooth. An OK Abbey ale - maybe a bit on the simple side.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Cloudy pale amber. Flowery grapefruity nose, Medium sweet. The light bready malt gives a soft mouthfeel. Salty bitterish finish. Soothing, but well light. Refreshing already, with a tad more body it’d be really good!

Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Pours rather thick cloudy pale amber. Sweet,fruity and somewhat syrupy, dominated by toffee. Very malty with restrained yeast character. Drier finish with a hint of grass. Just does not really get going. I usually prefer Grauballes lighter beers more.
