(Bottle 75 cl) Typically flat Ørbæk carbonation and the typical Ørbæk house character although a new yeast has been used for this - a Scotch ale yeast. Very dark, almost mahogany. Sweetish yet with a solid hoppy bite. Quite refined, almost vinous beer. 060704

(Bottle 75 cl) Rather unusual reddish brown colour, more red than brown though. Hazy with a smallish head. Also rather low in carbonation. Very pronounced fruit-/ berry flavours with a discreet sweetness and a weak underlying bitterness. I believe that the story behind this is, that the brewer is a big fan of Fats Domino... 020704

(Bottle 75 cl) Dark brown beer with a small, brownish head. Typical Ørbæk nose and character, this caramelish note. Full-bodied with notes of hard roasted malt, almost coffeeish. Quite nice indeed. 101003

(Bottle 33 cl) Pretty amber with a fizzy head that cannot wait to get out of the bottle - collapses quickly though. The elderflower extract is present but not overwhelming. Weak wheaty notes (spelt actually).
This was developed by the father and son owners of Ørbæk (Nils and Nicolai Rømer) when they’d sacked their brewmaster. So it’s not that bad considering it’s been developed with no real brewing experience. 290903

(Bottle 75 cl) Dark brown with a reddish hue and a fine, dense head. Roasted "dark", malty flavours with an underlying sweetness and the typical low Ørbæk carbonation. 110503

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful mahogany colour, but almost no head. Very low in carbonation. Very roasted, malty nose. Flavours again of roasted malt, but I don’t really get any burned or ashy notes. This is rounded and soft with a smooth mouthfeel. 210403

(Bottle 33 cl) Actually this is a spelt beer, comes with 50% spelt. Deep, hazy orange with a fine head. Lacks some of the more subtle fruity esters found in your typical German Hefe - in other words this is not wheaty enough. A bit too bitter also for it’s style. 050203

(Bottle 33 cl) Pretty, dark blond, filtered beer with a fine head. So far the most carbonated of the Ørbæk beers I’ve had. Typically malty with quite some fruity freshness and a harmonious balance between the discreet sweetness and the hops. Not overly refined, but a sympathetic beer. 010203
