Fyret

Tap to rate

A mildly hopped, light wheat beer, a weissbier brewed with orange peel. Its story is that of Lyngvig Lighthouse, the last lighthouse built along the Jutland west coast: it was built in 1906 and first lit on 3 November. A tragic accident at sea in 1903, in which 24 sailors lost their lives, tipped the decision to start construction. In clear weather the light can be seen up to 50 km away, and the lighthouse is a well-known landmark of the whole area.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with wheat and soft orange peel, delivering a bright citrusy character balanced by subtle clove and banana notes from the yeast. These classic Hefeweizen esters blend seamlessly with the grain, creating an approachable and inviting opening that suggests both fruit and spice without any harsh edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and crisp, with wheat malts providing a light, grainy foundation that carries the orange character forward without becoming jammy. Mid-palate is clean and refreshing, with gentle spice notes and a restrained bitterness (14 IBU) that allows the malt and citrus adjunct to lead. The finish remains dry and easy-drinking, never cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium and refreshingly dry, with the orange and yeast character fading gracefully into a clean, neutral aftertaste. A pleasant citrusy echo lingers briefly before the beer resolves.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.

Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
