Harboe Bear Beer is the most well-known and internationally successful product of the family-run Harboes Bryggeri A/S in Skælskør, which was launched in 1974 as the brewery's first strong beer and has since been brewed as Harboe's largest international beer brand strictly according to the German Purity Law using only four ingredients – water, barley malt, hops, and yeast. It presents itself clear and golden yellow with a fine hop aroma and a fruity scent of grain, apple, and pear, with a balanced, mild initial taste featuring pleasant malt sweetness, caramel notes, and moderate hop bitterness, as well as a malty, easy-drinking, refreshing finish that makes this Danish bear classic a surprisingly drinkable strong beer that knows how to elegantly conceal its strong alcohol content. Harboe Bear Beer is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a full-bodied, characterful, and internationally renowned Danish strong beer with over 50 years of history, which convinces as a worthy companion to sausages, light roasts, game dishes, and aged cheeses as well as a pleasurable expression of one of Denmark's most traditional and independent breweries.
