Baked apple, vanilla cream and a hint of cinnamon. Silent Bite is the Christmas beer that tastes more like baking than the bar.
Expert description of Fanø Bryghus Silent Bite Apple Crumble Wheat Ale
Silent Bite Apple Crumble Wheat Ale is a soft, dessert-inspired Christmas beer at 4.2% from Fanø Bryghus, brewed with apple, vanilla and cinnamon. Silent Bite is a wheat ale with a Christmas character, created as a tribute to Danish winter cosiness and baking. The beer has a light golden colour and a soft, white head.
The aroma is full and inviting with notes of baked apple, vanilla cream and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The taste balances sweetness and spice in a silky style reminiscent of classic apple crumble. The mouthfeel is light and round, and the 4.2% ABV makes it a fresh, approachable Christmas beer.
Fanø Bryghus is located on the West Jutland island of Fanø, where the North Sea and the island's raw nature are a clear part of the brewery's identity. The brewery makes everything from classic, golden lagers to barrel-aged specialties, and has won several awards for its craft.
