Nøgne Ø Amber

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of strong caramel malt with some semi-sweet notes and dry hoppy finish. Taste is also a mix between caramel malt with some dry hoppy finish. Full body with limited filtration and good carbonation. I must admit to being impressed with this session ale that packs more character then your average amber ale.

Dark amber with a thick white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, spices, and hops (cascade). Starts malty sweet of caramel and burnt sugar before a spicy and lemony hop flavour takes over the picture. Small notes of grapefruit.

Dark hazy orange colour, big beige foamy head, lacing. Aroma of malt and fruit. Flavour is malty with citric hoppyness. Long hoppy bitterish aftertaste with grassy notes. Also some hints of smoke/roast in flavour and aftertaste.

(500 ml bottle conditioned). Finally available bottled, this amber ale comes from the micro brewery that make all other Norwegian commercial brewers look ridiculous. ABV bottled is 6.0%. Colour is deep amber to reddish and cloudy. Very good thick head. Lovely complex fruity and flowery aroma - roses and flowers I can't even remember the name of. Flavour is first treacherously pleasant malty, fruity and slightly spicy, then the hops brutally take over with a very bitter (too bitter?) and salty finish. Definitely not a beer for the Corona generation.
