Hindbær Lakrids Ale

Denmark·Spiced / Herbed Beer
Tap to rate

Raspberry arrives first, licorice comes next, and the whole thing stays refreshing and thirst-quenching. Raspberry juice and licorice go in during both the boil and the fermentation, over a base of Pilsner malt with Sorachi Ace and Cascade hops. The brewery places it at the experimental end of its range, and it is unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hindbær Lakrids Ale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a luminous quality, characteristic of the Pilsner malt base and low color rating. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature renders a light cloudiness that catches the light pleasingly. A delicate, ephemeral head forms and settles quickly, leaving fine lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry leads the charge on the nose, bright and immediate, followed by distinct licorice notes that linger underneath. The Sorachi Ace and Cascade hops contribute a subtle herbal and citrus undertone that does not overpower the fruit-forward profile. A clean fermentation character supports without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with raspberry juice delivering immediate fruitiness across the palate. Licorice arrives swiftly in the mid-palate, adding aromatic spice and a touch of anise character that complements the berry notes. The 28 IBU bitterness is restrained and balanced, allowing the adjunct flavours to remain prominent while the Pilsner malt provides a clean, dry foundation.
