COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Happy Easter is amber red with a pretty, white head. The Amarillo hops, the short dryness and lightly sweet aroma make it a perfect accompaniment to an Easter table with herrings, lamb, crisp spring herbs and of course cheese. The beer is a hybrid, a rye beer using lager yeast.

The first "Easter" beer so far which has been good! And really good, to add to it. A very good bitter, to sum it up.

Koelschtrinker (8477) - Köln (Cologne), GERMANY - MAY 23, 2011
Das Bier startet weich malzig, hintergründig herb. Konstant, später etwas schokoladenmalzig, würziger. Dennoch insgesamt nicht übermäßig intensiv aber immerhin angenehm. Zum Ende herber, darunter brechen die Aromen weg und das Bier wird wässrig. Geht in Ordnung. 6/7/7/7/7/7

chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2011
At Copenhagen Oldage on 20 May 2006 (not sure whether it was on tap or from bottle). Recorded as Haandbryggeriet Happy Easter in my notebook but I guess that was just sloppy work on my part due to the rather advanced stage of the evening. Darkish amber colour. Sweetish, dull malt. A bit doughy. Mainly caramel in the flavour. Not much hop in evidence. Palatable but didn’t do much for me.

larsga (5325) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 10, 2010
Medium offwhite head. Amber body. Sugary fruity apple aroma with toffee oil notes. Dry-sweet watery toffee earthy taste with grassy notes. Light body. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry earthy toffee and water aftertaste with grassy notes. Nice, drinkable, but not very remarkable. (0.66l bottle, shared by Ole_R.)
