Røde Kristian
Røde Kristian is brewed with caramel malts and has more character than traditional Irish ales, single-hopped with First Gold for a fresh, harmonious hop with a faint citrus touch. It has been brewed since 2004. Kristian was a local drunkard from Grauballe who vanished on a walk to Silkeborg in the late 1800s; when the Grauballe Man was excavated in 1952, many locals believed it was him. Both had red hair.
