COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This slightly unclear, copper colored rye beer is brewed using three different types of rye malts as well as light pilsener malt and a little brewing syrup. The use of Winter Rye gives the beer a characteristic aroma, that is pronounced by a fresh note of citrus from the Cascade hops from Yaki-ma, USA. The full-bodied and dry flavor is due to the light pilsener malt and the regular rye malt, while the caramel rye malt adds a discreet sweetness. The chocolate rye malt makes sure, that there is a balance between the two. The aftertaste contains a flowery hoppiness. Best served at 8-10 C.

Geuzelambix (229) - København, DENMARK - APR 24, 2008

I love this beer. The appearance is golden with brownish elements. The aroma isn’s exceptional but the taste more than makes up for it. It’s multilayered and versatile - strong and yet smooth. Nice to have while eating a good diiner during winter. I have had it for x-mas and it was suiting the duck well.
