More information about Farmor Elna
Farmor Elna is the grandma in Berliner Weisse Brauerei Schneeeule's range, and not just because that's the name of the beer.
Farmor Elna was created in collaboration with the Swedish craft beer brewery Brekeriet and bears the name Oma Elna. This is not because the Berliner Weisse was packaged in crocheted doilies or brewed with caramel sweets or because it tastes particularly good, but rather because the fine drop was allowed to mature in aromatic oak barrels for 12 months after the brewing process.
With just over a year under its belt, Grandma Elna can already be counted among the beery seniors.
The Berliner Weisse, fermented with lactic acid bacteria, flows into the glass in a warm honey hue and has little more than a fleeting white haze on its naturally cloudy body.
An olfactory composition of delicately sweet grape scent and tart natural yoghurt rises to the nose and makes you eager for the first sip. The first sip reveals a full body with mild acidity, balanced fruit and a dry character.
The typical edges of pointed acidity of a classic Berliner Weisse have been rounded off by the maturation process in the barrel and the usual range of flavors is complemented and deepened by the soft, aromatic flavors of the whisky, port and rum barrels used.
Farmor Elna is an unusual Berliner Weisse that wears its age with elegance, dignity and a lot of flavor.
