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.

Light unclear nutty color with a small off white head. Some lacing. Nutty, caramel and a bit roasted aroma. Medium body. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness. Average carbonation. Herbal, grassy, caramel and roasted flavor. Nope. Nothing for me. To much roasted notes.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 2 Oct 2014) Reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty nose with caramel, toffee, red fruit and hints of raspberries. Malty taste with notes of caramel, toffee, raspberries, hints of yeast and a balanced bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Medium body, with just a touch of sweetness. Balanced and tasty, but not really exciting. Quite enjoyable.

(Keg at Churchill Arms, Uppsala, 20140923) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, molasses and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, molasses, fruitiness, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A very malty brew. The end result was even musty.

On tap at the Brewpub in July 2014. Slightly hazy amber with a medium head. Light with bread, very light roasted notes of malt and some fruit. The finish was dry. An ok one.
