Day 10 of the 2018 Advent Calendar.
This was an odd beer. It poured clear (with some sludge at the end) and orange, but then went opaque and murky after the head died down.
The aroma is almost lambic. There's a hint of an unknown fruit along with some yeast, and a candy-like aroma.
I thought the taste was all toward the sweet side. Nice hop flavor but it needed more of them.
Not bad, but it was missing the hop balance that I wanted.

From the craft beer advent calendar. The addition of Nelson sauvin hops to a little made older style of lager really takes it up a notch. I could drink this beer all day

330ml bottle - day 10 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar, a collaboration with fellow Danish brewer Hornbeer. Apparently this is a traditional German lager, made with some trendy new world hops. How innovative.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent streaky and splotchy lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some indistinct tropical fruitiness, a bit of nutty yeasty notes, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, subtle domestic citrus rind, ethereal lager yeast, and more earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a small airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt running the lingering racket.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with the 'exotic' hops making a mild impression, at best. Including a lager in a package like this is a dicey proposition, but it seems to have worked out for them in the end.
