🌍 Denmark · Pale Lager · One of 134 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

Tuborg Rå began as a festival beer for Roskilde and Northside before it reached shops. It is an organic, completely unfiltered lager of the pilsner type, a touch lighter than Grøn Tuborg. Because malt, hop and yeast residues stay in the beer, it pours hazy gold under a dense cream head. The aroma is grain with a light citrusy hop note; the palate brings rounder malt, grassy and floral hints and a low bitterness in a refreshing, thirst-quenching finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tuborg Rå

◎ Appearance

Tuborg Rå pours a hazy golden color, its cloudiness a direct result of the unfiltered, unpasteurized character and residual yeast in suspension. A dense, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with good retention, typical of its organic lager base. The turbidity is clean and inviting rather than murky, reflecting careful handling of this living beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a clean, grainy malt foundation—soft and approachable without aggressive adjunct notes. A light citrusy hop character emerges on the second pass, adding brightness without dominating. The unfiltered yeast contributes a subtle earthiness that rounds out the overall aromatic profile without any harsh phenolic edges.
