Påskebryg

Tap to rate

Påskebryg, the Easter brew, is a deep golden lager with creamy white foam and a gentle hop bitterness. Hops, herbs and ripe fruit lead the aroma, while malt, fruit, a hint of caramel and a discreet residual sweetness shape the taste. Hops and pine linger in the aftertaste for a well-balanced finish. Opal, Saphir, Ariana and Callista are the hops, and the lager is fermented bottom-up.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with piney and herbal notes from the blend of Opal, Saphir, Ariana and Callista hops, layered with ripe stone fruit and subtle citrus character. Beneath the hop expression lies a soft, clean malt foundation with a whisper of floral complexity. The overall aromatics are inviting and balanced, neither aggressive nor retreating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with moderate sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel that carries through the mid-palate. Malt and soft caramel notes provide structure and roundness, while the hop bitterness (22 IBU) emerges as a gentle counterpoint rather than a sharp edge. The beer maintains its fruitiness throughout, with a touch of residual sweetness that prevents any harshness.
