Hvede

Denmark·American Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Refreshing wheat beer with fruity sweetness and a touch of citrus: more residual sweetness and a far fruitier fullness than the classic versions. The nose shows the wheat's own grain character, finely spiced with playful splashes of fresh orange. Orange and coriander seeds go into the brew, alongside pilsner and wheat malt.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, refreshing wheat presence that carries more residual sweetness than traditional wheat ales. Orange and coriander notes weave through the mid-palate with a fruity fullness, while gentle spice adds complexity. The bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBU, allowing the fruit and malt to dominate without harshness.
