Mayday
A fresh pale ale brewed with sea buckthorn picked in the dunes by the North Sea and with American Citra hops. It was made in respect of the rescuers who put out to sea when seafarers are in distress. The rescue boat on the label, Emilie Robin, is stationed in Hvide Sande, and her sister ship Martha Lerche in Thyborøn.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Mayday
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
