Asparges Hvedeøl

Tap to rate

The aromatic acidity of asparagus meets the softness of the brewery's wheat beer, and fine asparagus notes bring out its creamy, fruity character. Made for the mood of May, it is brewed with half barley and half wheat malt and with asparagus from Søren Wiuff's Brogård farm by the Lammefjord.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a distinctive herbal character—fresh asparagus notes mingle with the soft, bready wheat malt base. Supporting this are subtle citrus and stone fruit esters from the yeast, along with a gentle acidity that keeps the bouquet lively and crisp.

◐ Taste

On entry, soft wheat malt sweetness immediately gives way to the beer's defining feature: a bright, aromatic sourness carried by the asparagus adjunct. The mid-palate develops creamy, fruity notes—apple and pear—that balance the moderate lactic acidity, while subtle herbal spice lingers at the edges. Bitterness remains low and restrained, allowing the dry, mineral finish of the asparagus to emerge.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with the asparagus and herbal character persisting alongside a subtle tartness. A gentle astringency and refreshing crispness carry through, leaving the palate clean and ready for another sip.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

Witbier glass

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.

Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
