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.

Clear golden color with a white head that gives up a bit to fast. Still a decent lacing. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Pilsner like. Medium + body and an average carbonation level. Ok balanced sweetness and bitterness. Malty, fruity and herbal flavor. Quite pilsner ish, just a far better body. Decent enough. Nothing wrong here.

Hazed pale golden beer with a head that gives up a little bit to fast. The aroma are quite decent wheat ish. Some banana and mild clove. Ok intensity. A bit to rich carbonation destroys this one. To fizzy mouth feeling. Moderate sweet. Wheat, some banana, some yeast and some clove. Refreshing, but lacks body and character.

Bottle, Aarhus Food Festival. Hazy yellow, white head. Malty, hoppy aroma. Similar flavour, smooth and crisp. Refreshing. Not bad.
