Hvid Guld

Tap to rate

The first guldøl brewed at Refsvindinge: a light, easy-drinking strong lager, bottom-fermented. Regnbuebajer and Ægte Fynsk Boghvedebryg are the other beers filed under guldøl. Guld, meaning gold, is a name commonly applied to Danish pale lagers that are somewhat stronger than ordinary pilsner. The brewery's cosy beer lounge holds up to 35 people.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hvid Guld

◎ Appearance

Pale golden color with excellent clarity and bright luminosity characteristic of a classic Danish lager. A fine, persistent head forms and holds well, with delicate lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is lively and even throughout, creating a refined visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and restrained, with soft, grainy malt undertones that suggest a simple grain bill centered on pale base malts. Noble hop character emerges as delicate herbal and slightly floral notes, with no aggressive bitterness detectable on the nose. A subtle, neutral fermentation character underscores the overall crisp profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and smooth, with a gentle malt sweetness that frames the palate without heaviness. Mid-palate reveals subtle biscuit and grain notes that build incrementally, balanced by restrained noble hop bitterness that reaches approximately 25 IBU. The body remains lean and refreshing throughout, never cloying, with good definition from a dry finish.
