In 1859, the Frydenlund Brewery was founded on the Frydenlund Loop in Oslo by ship captain Mads Langaard. Frydenlund Fatøl has a deep golden colour. The aroma is slightly characterized by straw, bread baking and malt straw. The aroma also retains a light yeasty fruitiness and a pleasant hop aroma. The flavor is rich with a round malt sweetness well balanced against moderate bitterness. The beer goes well with pork, pizza and charcuterie.
