Fur Ale

Brewed by Fur Bryghus
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Fur, Denmark

I’m a bit disappointed by this. It’s very mild and soft and harmless. It lacks body and complexity.

Off-white head on a hazy dark yellow body. Slight malty flavour, spices in the taste, some fruit. Not bad for a Danish ale.

Orange colour. Nice acidicly hoppy aroma. Flavour is fruity with an acidic and fairly long bitter finish. Very soft mouthfeel.

Orange, hazy. Beige short head. Yeasty bread aroma with sourish undertones. Soft carbonation. MIld malty sweet flavour. A gentle touch of hops. Some spicyness, thyme? Minerals? Fruity tones too (raspberry?) Nice ale, mild and uncomplex but qiute tasty.

Darker orange beer, quite carbonated; creamy, yellowish-orange head. Mainly hoppy nose, European (noble) & British hops, fresh-smelling. Markedly sourish edge around non-sweet but malty beer. Hopcharacter from the nose all but gone. Citrus - alas in the way a cleaning fluid is ’citrused’ - cardemom, capers, but restrained of course. Rather dry finish. Medium bodied at best; some acids, strengthened by the carbonation. In the aftertaste, some hops return, but no bitterness. Rather pleasing beer, but I frankly doubt if the sourishness is intended. Still, if this doesn’t intensify with age, it’s quite OK with me.

Golden orange. Refreshing fruity ale. It is quite average and standard. A good thirst quencher.

Bottled: Golden coloured. Clear. Small off white head. Very light fruity and malty aroma. Not very distinct. Herbal, fruity and malty flavour as well. Sweet and dry in the end. Very thin bodied. Way too thin and onedimensional for me. I’ll save my $ instead of buying this bland and boring ale.

Small fizzy head on a clear amber orange body. Malty aroma with mild caramel notes. Malty flavor as well with roasted hints and nutty tones. Sparkling. Uninteresting and not very full bodied.
