Slottskallans Brewery

Vrak (meaning Wreck) is a beer brewed with a yeast strain recovered from bottled beer found in the wreckage of a 1915 sunken German warship. The yeast was recovered by divers in 1999, and used to produce this wheat beer. 

Pours to a pale coppery color, slightly clouded with a well pronounced and enduring foam. The aroma is piney grassy, with fruity lemon citrus and pineapple, as well as cloves, spice and a little woodiness. 

It’s a light lager like palate, a little gassy, offering an excellent thirst quenching brew. A hoppy dryness runs throughout the palate accompanied closely by a lemon grassy citrus. There’s spice and clove flavors, while the yeast imparts a firmer bolder fruitiness towards the end, culminated by a lightly citric tang that mellows in a smooth, dry banana –like aftertaste.
