2083 Nøgne Ø Sweet Leaf Matcha Ale Norway Spiced Beer 2.9

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

330 ml bottle, from SPAR Jørpeland. ABV is 4.5%, IBU 20.

Fizzy and citric mouthfeel. Dry and weird herbal flavour of tea, hints of lemon rind. One of the least successful beers I've had from Nøgne Ø.
