Lynæs

Tap to rate

A golden IPA with a touch of juniper and notes of exotic fruit. The bitterness is good, and the beer comes across fresh and thirst-quenching. It is named after Lynæs, the small fishing village where Isefjord and Roskilde Fjord part and each run their own way inland. When the sun shines, the place swarms with summer visitors and surfers.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with herbal and piney hop character, supported by subtle juniper that echoes the beer's coastal origin. Underneath lies a layer of tropical stone fruit—apricot and passion fruit—balanced by clean, understated malt sweetness. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh alcohol or yeast-derived notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with immediate hop bitterness that commands the palate without aggression. Mid-palate develops tropical fruit notes alongside a light, dry malt base that supports rather than dominates. The 86 IBU bitterness is well-integrated, providing structure and persistence without becoming astringent or overly resinous.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness gradually fading into a clean, thirst-quenching aftertaste. No residual sweetness remains; the beer invites another sip.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
