Description
QajaQ brewery is located in Narsaq close to Greenlands Icecap, where we harvest carefully our icebergs drifting outside the brewery. Probably the purest water mother nature can provide us with 1000-4000 years old icebergs (water). We carefully choose our malt, hops and local ingredients for our beers. We´re “mainly” a lager brewery but also enjoy a good ale every once in a while.
We´re a Greenlandic/Icelandic owned brewery with an American as head brewer and German as assistant brewer. Our main goal is to provide Greenland and the world with quality (locally) brewed beer and build up the knowledge in the country so they can learn how they can use their wonderful pure water.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, dark amber with an off-white head. Nose has a little burned caramel. Medium body only, fairly bland, malty body with a vague hint of caramel and nothing much else. I'm normally a sucker for Dopplebocks but this is mostly bland and hardly doppel at all. 010420
