Juellingekvindens Bryg

Tap to rate

A sparkling, fruity, full-bodied ale with a story: Juellingekvinden was buried in the Iron Age about 2,000 years ago on Lolland, with a Roman bronze kettle full of beer among her many fine grave goods. That beer was brewed on barley malt, seasoned with bog myrtle and given cranberries, and this organic ale uses the same ingredients, developed with the National Museum of Denmark.

A pale golden hue with bright, lively clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. The head forms dense and persistent, clinging to the glass in delicate lacing with each sip. The body reads full yet transparent, conveying the ale's substantial malt foundation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright berry and stone-fruit notes, underscored by herbal complexity from the bog myrtle—a distinctive green, slightly resinous character. Beneath lies a warm, biscuity maltiness with subtle citrus and a clean, yeast-driven clarity that frames the archaic botanicals without dominating them.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, filling the palate with a full body that carries notes of ripe berry, cranberry tartness, and gentle herbal earthiness. The middle builds quietly with supporting hop character and a restrained bitterness (35 IBU) that balances rather than asserts. Finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering malt sweetness and a final herbal flourish.

◑ Finish

Medium-length, clean finish with a soft, lingering sweetness of malt and fading berry notes. The herbal and slightly tart cranberry character persists gently on the aftertaste.

Serve at 7–10°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.
