Orange Blossom

Tap to rate

Orange Blossom has a taste of orange and honey, the honey coming from orange tree blossoms, and the result is a very fresh beer. First Gold, Saaz and Cascade are the three hops that give it its pleasant flavour. The name already hints at the orange-blossom honey at the heart of the recipe from Grauballe Bryghus.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with a sweet honey entry that coats the mouth pleasantly, transitioning into crisp orange and light citrus flavors in the mid-palate. A moderate bitterness from the Edelhopfen emerges cleanly without harshness, balancing the sweetness and leaving the impression of a refreshing, well-composed whole. The underlying malt provides a clean, supportive backbone.
