Spice, Herb o Vegetable Beer 7 º

Närke Kulturbryggeri

Gransus is a robust and evocative Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer that captures the essence of a northern forest. A deep mahogany body supports a profile dominated by the fresh, resinous character of spruce tips. The spruce provides an assertive evergreen aroma and a cooling, woody depth that integrates seamlessly with a sturdy malt backbone of toasted bread and dark caramel. At 7% ABV, a gentle alcohol warmth bolsters the resinous bitterness, leading into a dry, lingering finish reminiscent of pine needles and earth. It is a harmonious balance between rustic herbal intensity and traditional brewing craftsmanship.

Appearance. Deep copper to mahogany (17–25 SRM) with a dense, persistent tan head. Clarity is generally good, though a slight chill haze may be present due to the spruce additions.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh-cut spruce, pine resin, and forest floor. Behind the dominant evergreen notes lies a moderate malt character of toasted crust, caramel, and a hint of dark fruit esters. Hop aroma is low and earthy, bowing to the botanical profile.

Taste. The palate opens with a sharp, resinous spruce flavor that is both woody and slightly citrusy. A rich, medium-full malt center provides balance with notes of burnt sugar and toasted grain. Bitterness is moderate-high, derived from both hops and spruce resins, leading to a clean but lingering balsamic and needle-like finish. The fermentation is clean with very low plum-like esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the resins. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, accompanied by a faint woody astringency that enhances the dry finish.
