Giraf Beer
Vinous and aromatic, with a mild scent of alcohol and a lightly sweetish, strongly malty taste that carries a faint hop bitterness. The aftertaste stays vinous and aromatic; the beer is dark golden and brilliantly filtered. It was born on 13 August 1962, after Kalle the giraffe was found dead at Odense Zoo: the beer was meant to fund a new giraffe and raised enough for two.
