Tap to rate

Søhøjlandets Frokostøl is a golden brew with a light, round malt body and a hop character built on both classic and modern hops, including Goldings and Mosaic. It is the lighter sibling of the brewery's stronger specials, and served cold it shows a flavour and hop aroma that you would expect from much stronger beers.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced hop character that combines classic Goldings floral notes with modern Mosaic citrus and stone-fruit undertones. Beneath the hop-forward profile lies a delicate malt sweetness that provides gentle roundness without overwhelming the bouquet. The aromatic balance defies the modest ABV, suggesting a beer of considerably greater intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the malt foundation establishing a soft, light body that never feels thin. Mid-palate develops a measured bitterness complemented by subtle citrus notes and a refined hop presence that lingers across the palate without harshness. The interplay between gentle malt roundness and hop definition creates a refreshing, well-integrated whole.

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.
