Commercial Description:
Denne undergærede lagerøl har sit forbillede i den tyske stilart ’Maibock’. Gækkebryg er med sin påskegule farve, bryghusets forårsbebuder. Lidt utraditionelt er Gækkebryg aromahumlet med den engelske humle East Kent Goldings, der bl.a. er kendt for sin aromatiske og blomstrede duft, der absolut hører årstiden til. Gækkebryg har selvfølgelig fået sit navn fra påsken, hvor også gækken slippes løs. En lettere omskrivning af et kendt og elsket vers lyder således på bryghuset: ’Min øl den står på brikker – sig skål, for nu jeg den drikker!’

Apricot colored. Catty hop nose and some fruit. Very smooth but thin body. Finishes smooth and bitter.

<i>Bottle.</i> Pours a hazy amber/orange with a creamy, but diminishing off-white head. Sweetish hop aroma. Nice at first, but as it warms it develops first a sourish, malty urinal cake-note in the background and then remote notes of fried onions. It’s not really bad as such, but it <i>is</i> a bit funky. Flavour is sweetish and hoppy, with some malt in the background, but feels watery. Creamy notes as it warms. Finish has a lingering hop bitterness and flowery/apple notes. <i>15-07-08.</i>

(on bottle)Yellow, white head. Malty, slightly cardboardish aroma. Heavy sugars and a small toasted flavour. Somewhat cloying finish. Lacks carbonatin and hops to match the sweetness.
