Søhøjlandets Økologiske Hvidtøl

Tap to rate

This organic hvidtøl is dark in colour with a light, creamy head and a round body of roasted malt, bread and mild sweetness. The taste is soft and harmonious, with notes of caramel and grain, no bitterness and a light, sweet finish. It pays tribute to Silkeborg's beer tradition: a hvidtøl was the very first beer from the town's first brewery, Klosterbryggeriet, in 1883.
