Austmann Tre Gamle Damer - all-grain beer kit

Austmann Tre Gamle Damer all-grain beer kit – Belgian pale ale

Together with Austmann Bryggeri in Trondheim we have created an all-grain kit for those who want to brew the brewery's flagship Tre Gamle Damer. The beer is a tribute to the three brave women who made Austmann's brewery dream possible. It is a pale ale with Belgian yeast, giving a good balance between fruitiness, bitterness and spicy notes.

The kit is for brewers who mash and boil from scratch, for example with a brewing system.

Flavour and aroma

The beer is clear golden with a white head. The aroma has notes of biscuit, bread and fruit, with a hint of Belgian spice. The flavour is fruity with a light residual sweetness, and the Belgian yeast adds a subtle spicy character. The finish is dry and balanced, so the beer works both with food and on its own.

Food pairing

Tre Gamle Damer pairs well with dishes such as beef bourguignon, wild mushrooms, porchetta and rich pasta dishes.
