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.

Pours slightly hazy dark amber/coppery colour, topped with a large and slowly settling creamy tan head. Pleasant biscuity nose with some caramel and just a hint of dustiness. Mildly bittery, caramel and biscuity sweetness is held back. Slightly peppery finish. Sparkly and light body. Nicely drinkable.

Fra flaske på RBHD-samling på Bjørnøy, juni-18: lett uklar brunlig rav med fint skum som varer. Ristet loff, røde bær, mørke karameller og kanskje et hint av melkesjokolade. Ufrisk, sursyrlig smak helt uten sjarme.

Bottle sample courtesy of Grumbo, many thanks Graham! Brown-amber colour, some white bubbles on top and aroma of caramel, fruity, hop, bready, malt. Taste is malty, some roastiness and berries, with light earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry nutty finish. Quite OK.
