The word ’gestalt’ means the concept of wholeness – the fact that when combined, things sometimes add up to more than the sum of their parts. That meal you are eating may be great on its own, but when you match it with a beer that reflects, counterpoints and magnifies the aromas and flavours already present, it can be a revelation, an epiphany even.
Nya Carnegie Amber is designed to be enjoyed with food and be as versatile as possible. With grilled or roasted meats and vegetables it sings in chorus with the caramelized notes, with sausage it has a ball and it delights in the company of barbecue.
This beer is what we call ‘malt forward’. That means that we allow the malt to show off and take centre stage, having said that, the subtle, grassy, herbal aroma of English Fuggles is also invited to the party. Most breweries describe the malt they use as the finest or choicest. Here at NyaCarnegie, we really mean it. All our malts are chosen from only the best maltings and are traditionally floor-malted to achieve maximum flavour.
MALTS: Floor-malted Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt, Amber Malt, Melanoidin Malt from the UK
HOPS: Perle (bittering), Fuggles (aroma)
YEAST: Brooklyn House Ale
ABV: 4.8%
ORIGINAL GRAVITY: 11,8° Plato
FOOD PAIRINGS: Very versatile. Seared meats, roasted vegetables, pickled anything.

Not that bad, it is a classical amber ale, mineral, a bit metalic, malty and hop. It is well balanced but not really complex, refreshing, 09.08.17, purchased at one coop and tasting it at Prélaz.

Amber lager - very likely inspired by Brooklyn Lager from the brewery's owner - tasted from bottle at Arlanda airport in Sweden. Regularly shaped, moussy, opening, egg-white, not too stable head on a clear pale orangey amber-hued beer with vivid sparkling. Weak aroma, notes of wet peanuts, toast, minerals, carrot cake, toasted pinenuts, sunflower seeds, hard caramel candy. Malty profile, slick caramelly with a light, clean mouthfeel, some apple peel fruitiness but very subtle, medium carbonated; caramelly and lightly peanutty malt body till the end, only a light herbal-bitterish hoppy note in the finish but the caramelly malt sweetishness prevails. Very uneventful, like a tuned down, less expressively 'American' hoppy version of Brooklyn Lager - as if this brewery felt the need to adapt that legendary American lager to a generic European palate...

Draft. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, bread, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.
