Veteranøl

Tap to rate

A full, balanced beer with extra malt and several malt types for depth and roundness, topped by fruity notes from the hops and a well-judged bitterness. It was created together with Veterankortet.dk as a tribute to Denmark’s deployed soldiers, which makes it a beer with a cause as well as a flavour.

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
