Nils Oscar Hop Yard IPA introducerade först på välsorterade krogar. Den blev snabbt så populär och eftertraktad att vi bestämde oss för att göra den tillgänglig även på Systembolaget. Det är en kraftig India Pale Ale och är genomgående smaksatt på amerikanskt vis där vi inspirerats av den amerikanska nybyggarandan – få kopplingar till namnet India Pale Ale med andra ord. India Pale Ale kom till redan på 1700-talet och skeppades mellan England och Indien, där av namnet India Pale Ale. Det sägs också att den höga andelen humle och den höga alkoholhalten var nödvändig för den halvårslånga resan från England till Indien eftersom den hade en konserverande effekt. Tur för oss att resan tog tid – Nils Oscar Hop Yard IPA är idag oerhört uppskattat.
FÖR DEN INTRESSERADE
Nils Oscar Hop Yard IPA är ett överjäst öl med ganska hög alkoholhalt. Vidare är det en kraftig ale brygd med ljust malt och karamellmalt, samt humlad med sorterna Cascade, Simcoe, Pacific Gem, Nelson Sauvin, och Amarillo, samt generöst torrhumlad med Amarillo, Citra och Nelson Sauvin. Doften bjuder en rik flora av olika tropiska frukter som ananas, persika, dadlar och en rik ton av karamell. Smaken är kraftig, rik av fruktiga humletoner och har en balanserande lätt söt maltkaraktär. Eftersmaken är kraftigt besk.

Golden color, wih small head. Abrasive citrusy and tropical hop aroma, dry. The body is lean, good for highlighting the hops, but the flavor of malt and caramel, dry, is biscuity and with toasted notes, good but interferes with the hops; very strong bitterness, at most excessive in the end.
Unbalanced.

Bright amber color; medium sized head. Nice aroma, hoppy and fruity; citrus fruits, with a tropical accent, some passion fruit; then hop resins too. The dry mouthfeel is appreciated in this beer; strong toffee flavor, resiny, with orange fruitiness and a light alcohol bite, there is also a earthy touch. Bold and long final. Excellent.

33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Clear, golden/bronze colour with medium, white head. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus, pine, tropical fruit, grass and some malt. It has got some of the typical Nils Oscar-aroma of vegetables/hay/leaves but thankfully not too much of it. Taste is lightly sweet with medium bitterness. Quite dry. The malt comes through more in the flavour. Medium bodied with nice carbonation. Average IPA, nothing more, nothing less.

330ml bottle poured into a special cognac glass at the new place in Stockholm called Queen’s Head. Bright golden body under a bubbly, thin, off-white head. Inviting aroma of mandarin and pineapple. Succulent, tropical fruits in flavour with a noticeable hint of figs behind. Rounded bitter finish. Rather easy to drink and to appreciate, 29.07.2010.
