Nr. 0255 Nordisk

Bottle, 75cl corked, at Ølfestival 2011, as No 255 Nordisk. It pours an unclear, yellowish-golden orange body with a small, off-white head on top. Oranges, pale malts and some yeast in the aroma. The flavor has oranges and some citrus peel, some malty sweetness in the backdrop. Dryish and almost full-bodied on the palate, decently bitter towards the end. Certainly a nice beer, leading my thoughts to Belgian saisons. 110527

Sample at KØ-2011. Deep golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is dry, fruit, malt, hop, orange. Flavour is dry, fruit, malt, hop, orange, grain. Nice beer.

Sample from bottle, Copenhagen Beer Festival. Not in the festival programme, and not mentioned on the brewery website yet. This was a very limited release of a few bottles, in the series of ales brewed with various rare old grain varieties from Nordisk Genbank. I am not entirely sure about the ABV, that may have to be corrected. Cloudy golden colour. Served too warm, but still a very tasty beer. Both aroma and flavour have a very nice and attractive balance between the malts and hops. What a pity that this beer most likely will never be brewed again.
