Egtvedpigens Bryg

Denmark·American Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Honey and bog myrtle lead the aroma of this unfiltered wheat ale, while lingonberries add a fresh, winey sweetness and a reddish colour. Hop bitterness is low; the taste is rounded and fresh with a good malt body and a discreet sweetness, and the finish carries honey and bog myrtle. The recipe is based on analyses of the birch-bark pail found in the grave with Egtvedpigen, developed with the National Museum of Denmark.
