Påske Bryg

Tap to rate

Great strength and fullness mark the flavour of this Easter brew. Like the Christmas brew, Påske Bryg rests two years at freezing point before bottling, far longer than Hancock's pilsner, which matures for at least 45 days. Like every Hancock beer, it is brewed with Czech Saaz hops and Danish malt, and its colour is a dark gold.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with noble Saaz hop character—herbal, floral, and gently spicy—layered beneath a pronounced malty sweetness from carefully selected Danish malts. A soft, clean fermentation character emerges with time, allowing the hop and malt dialogue to develop without yeast-driven fruit or phenolics.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and rich, with caramel malt notes building immediately across the mid-palate. Saaz hops provide restrained bitterness and a refined spice note that balances the malt weight without dominating. The finish maintains smoothness despite the 10.5% ABV, with subtle hop bitterness and lingering grain character.
