500ml Bottle (Shared by Omhper,thanks) - Golden/amber with a foamy head. Grainy and sweaty aroma with a hint of apricot and a hint of a changing from for babies! Fruity and slightly tart taste with yeast,apricot and malt. Not as bad as I was told,but something clearly went wrong when they brewed this as it’s not up to Nils Oscar’s usual high standards.

Bottle at Akkurat, vintage 2007. Fortunately only 2000 bottles were produced, the beer was terrible! Tasted and smelled bad, saffron, bread, spices, stale. Very, very bad!

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Spiced and somewhat burned plastic aroma. Sweet cornish and metallic flavoured with a light spice note. Has a vague caramel malt sweetnes but otherwise with a classic dry and mild spiced impression. Vague sweetness into the finish.

Bottle. This was a big disappointment. I was warned that the beer wasn’t good fresh, but supposedly better now. If that’s the truth, it shouldn’t have been sold at all. There’s a lot of grapefruity sourness in both aroma and flavor, it’s dusty, citric and not much else. A faint touch of spices struggle to be seen, and there’s a hint of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Oh, I almost forgot the medicine and burnt plastic like flavors. Had a quite small sample, but wasn’t even near finishing it. Well, at least it looked decent, with it’s hazy, golden body and a small white head. Surely gone bad, and shouldn’t be sold. (080811)

500 ml bottle. Golden body with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, spicy and medicine. Flavor is a bit of grapefruit dominated by plastic and rubber. This is not drinkable at all. Checking through the other ratings here, it seems like some are very pleased and some other agree with me. Different batches or something happening over time? I don’t think it’s possible at all to finish this bottle I tasted.

Bottled
Clear golden with very little head. Aroma is honey, beeswax and alcohol. Lots of pine and zesty citrus in the flavour; like chewing on grapefruit peels. Very unbalanced, something went awfully wrong with this one.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Hazy blond color with huge head. Strange aroma, with some medicine and plastic, then showing a more classic aroma, later, with dry malt and spices. Good mouthfeel, some sugars, dry malt, spicy, with lemon zest too. Probably because of the fermentation or maturation it’s a bit strange, but good Triple.

(50 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear golden color, white head. Sweet, spicy and alcohol scent, also phenoles and medicine cabinet. Not very pleasant at all. Taste almost makes me puke, damn that’s utterly disgusting! Phenolic, alcohol and some bitter plantlife. Can’t even take notice of the mouthfeel, though it feels sharp. Strange bitterness.
