Paaske Ale

Bryggeriet Refsvindinge
Denmark·Ale
Tap to rate

Sugar combined with top fermentation creates a well-balanced flavour with lots of body. It is a seasonal Easter beer. The brewery announces its events on Facebook. Old-school trunk markets are held on its grounds from time to time. The brewery suggests calling ahead if you look for a specific beer, since not every beer is always in stock.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Paaske Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with substantial clarity and a thick, creamy head that settles into persistent lacing. The carbonation is moderate, appropriate to the ale's full body, and the surface carries visible evidence of the head's adhesion to the glass.

deep amberclearthick headgood lacing

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malty sweetness, layered with biscuit and caramel notes from the grain bill. The sugar addition contributes a subtle honey-like character without excess cloying. Noble hops provide a restrained floral backdrop that supports rather than dominates the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and rounded, with the declared sugar and top fermentation creating immediate fullness across the palate. Mid-palate develops biscuit, toffee, and slightly toasted malt flavors that build on the sweetness. Bitterness is restrained at 30 IBU, appearing late and finishing clean without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is medium-length with lingering malt sweetness and a faint caramel warmth. The 6.5% alcohol carries through gently without heat.

Serve at 6–8°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.

What is a Ale?

India Pale Ales are hop-forward ales with ABV typically 5.5–7.5% and IBU 40–70+. Bold citrus, pine or tropical aromas alongside firm bitterness and a clean dry finish.

Finding a similar Ale

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same full-bodied, sweet, smooth-drinking character as Paaske Ale will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
