Porse Guld

Tap to rate

A round, aromatic golden export beer with a herbal, uniquely spicy character from sweet gale. The porse is hand-picked in Thy National Park and partly replaces the bitterness of hops. The beer has been a favourite since 1984, and the porse picking every August has become a local event that draws people from across the country.
