Dageraad is best served from a stemmed tulip or wine glass large enough to hold the beer plus 3 to 5 centimetres of foam. The ideal serving temperature of Dageraad is 6 to 8ºC, slightly warmer than refrigerator temperature. (You can purchase your own Dageraad custom glassware at our tasting room and our family restaurant Tangent Café.)02
Start pouring Dageraad gently at first and then more quickly. This will cause the beer to foam, which will release aroma and improve the mouthfeel. All Dageraad releases are refermented in the bottle, so be careful to leave the last centimetre of beer, which contains yeast. Yeast is rich in vitamin B and good for you, but can impart a bitter taste to the beer.03
Smell the beer. The glass, serving temperature and exuberant head of foam are all designed to deliver maximum aroma. Be careful not to bring your nose too close; Dageraad is intended for oral consumption only. Sip, taste, swallow and exhale, and receive a second hit of the aromatics. Good, eh? Now stop being a beer geek and enjoy your food and company.
