Anna Ancher

Tap to rate

Anna Ancher is a rosehip ale brewed with caramel malt, dried rosehip shells and heather flowers. It presents a velvety-soft and round taste, with Northern Brewer hops adding a spicy character. The rosehip comes through elegantly, and the scent of heather flowers recalls a walk in Skagen Klitplantage.

◐ Taste

The palate is velvety and round, with caramel malt providing a soft, slightly sweet foundation. Rosehip acidity and herbal astringency weave through the mid-palate, while Northern Brewer hops introduce a restrained spice that keeps the beer from becoming cloying. Bitterness remains approachable at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and flower character to dominate.
