Samsø Birkebryg

Brewed by Samsø Bryghus
Style: Vienna
Samsø, Denmark

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as hints of birch and an underlying acidity. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and with a bitter finish. The body is thin.

Dark orange colored, cloudy appearance. Little yellow head. Sweet, rather handmade aroma with grains and some vegetably yeastiness. Medium bodied. Flavor is similarly grainy-handmade and mildly caramelly, aftertaste dries with yest still, not too much hops.

Dark orange-golden with a weak head, that quickly disappears completely. The aroma has sweetness, notes of malt and presumably birch? The flavour is sweet with notes of malt, presumably birch and a very, very light bitterness. The overall impression is monotonous.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, pale amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Lightly sweetish aroma of malt and fruit. Medium-bodied with light notes of caramel and fruit. The finish is dry. Not absolutely undrinkable, but not absolutely pleasant either. 311007

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a quickly gone head. Mild citrus aroma with a slight nutty malt base. Half dead carbonation. Flavour is slight off acidic in the malt base and with an unclean bitterness and citric notes into the finish.

Bottle. Alomost no head. Light amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor and moderate bitter average finish. Oily palate. Strange but not bad.

Bottle at home. Hazy orange. Aroma moderate malty (caramel), light hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light bitter. Light/medium body. I don’t recognice the aroma and flavor of birch, but it’s a light pilsener.
