Christianshavner

Tap to rate

The golden colour and slightly creamy head lead into a balanced, full taste: pleasant malt sweetness with a touch of nuts and dried fruit, rounded off by a discreet bitterness. It is inspired by the mood of Christianshavn, with its cobbled streets, old canal houses and historic taverns. An English-style golden ale from organic malt, hops and yeast.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, biscuity Malz character complemented by subtle nuttiness and distant dried-fruit undertones. Noble hop aromatics emerge as a gentle herbal whisper rather than a shout, creating a composed and welcoming bouquet. The overall impression is one of restraint and elegance, typical of English golden ale tradition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pleasant malt sweetness and a creamy mid-body texture that feels full yet refined. Nutty and dried-fruit notes develop alongside a subtle earthiness from the Edelhopfen, maintaining balance throughout. A measured bitterness arrives in the finish, neither sharp nor aggressive, leaving the malt character as the defining impression.
