1741

Tap to rate

A warm-fermented bière de garde brewed with lemongrass and rose hips: a dominant aroma of fresh lemon and melon, Belgian esters, and a sweet taste of cherry, citrus fruits, caramel and a touch of Belgian funk. It was brewed to celebrate the independence of the Fanø islanders, when King Christian VI bought the island free of the Riberhus Ladegård crown estate on 10 July 1741.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus and sweet cherry, moving into warm caramel and stone fruit notes through the mid-palate. A gentle funky warmth and spicy undertone from fermentation add character, while low bitterness allows the fruit and caramel to shine without harshness.
