Nov. 2020: 500 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.5%, IBU 30. Very cloudy straw colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of citrus, hints of tropical fruits. Sweet flavour (too sweet), notes of said fruits and pine, seems strangely unbalanced, fairly bitter finish. I am not convinced that this "raw" idea is the way to go for Nøgne Ø. Won't buy again.

Nov. 2012: 500 ml bottle, nicked by hand from the rightful owner (who got it as a gift from New Zealand). ABV is 6.0%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Lovely aroma of Nelson Sauvin hops (and probably other NZ hops), notes of white grapes and crushed gooseberries. Light bodied for its strength. The flavour has distinct notes of NZ hops, "herbal" and dry white wine and green gooseberries up front, pine in the finish. Good stuff.

Aug. 2012: Rated as a lemon soda - this "beer" is a mix of 60% lemon soda and 40% beer. I expect it to be deleted, due to BeerPal rules. As a soda it is fairly drinkable.

Feb. 2015: 650 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Batch #477/478. ABV is 10.5%. Black colour, moderate brown head. Roasty aroma, notes of coffee, chocolate / cocoa and vanilla, only a hint of passion fruit. Fairly sweet flavour, distinctly fruity first, then the expected roasty notes of coffee and dark chocolate, also vanilla. Moderate hops. I’m a bit uncertain how great I think the fruitiness blends in with the roastiness, maybe not what I would call "perfect balance". Still, an interesting beer.
