Next up is an ecological beer from Ørbæk.
The first thought was that this beer aspires to be a trapist, yet isn't as rich in the flavour. It has a pleasant darkness (I prefer dark beer), is well balanced, nice foam and it goes well with cheese (we tried that) and chocolate. It could have a bit more notes of flower and spice, it's easter ale after all, but I get the impression this is a beer I wouldn't mind serving guests all year around, perhaps except for christmas.
On a minus note, it has a faint metallic smell, but apart from that, this is a beer I can fully recommend, and I'll be sure to buy a few more of. I should add that the hints of coffee were a nice plus. The label is nice, but I believe that previous years they used to have an easter bunny. In short: go bunnies! ![]()
