Nøgne Ø is proud to have created this beer in cooperation with Nordic Barista Cup. We wanted to make a coffee beer that was diferent and decided to use cascara, the dried husk from coffee bean, instead of roasted beans or actual coffee. A strong cascara tea was blended with the beer and, in addition, cascara was steeped directly in the finished beer. We hope you enjoy the result! The cascara used is from Aida Batlles farm, Los Alpes, in El Salvador and was donated by Solberg & Hansen.

Hazy copper colour. Strong yeasty aroma. Intense mouth carbonation. Spicy yeast flavour. Background is soft and fruity. The bitterness comes in the finish.

Bottle at Gamle Rykene Kraftstasjon. Hazy orange colour with an off white head. Ehhhh this is very difficult to discribe, malty and fruity nose. Special mix flavour, malty, moderate sweet, and strange bitterness that probably comes from the cascara tea.

En märklig öl. En lättdoft av växtsaft som växer i smaken, grönt bananskal, te, växtstjälkar, omogna gula plommon. Frisk och lätt och något syrlig med lätt balanserande sötma. Drag av lambic. God och märklig på samma gång.

500ml Bottle (Bishops Arms, Vasagatan, Stockholm) - Amber with a slight haze. Fruity and slightly musty aroma with notes of caramel and dried fruit. Fruity and musty taste with dried fruit, malt and hops. Reminiscent of a lambic in some ways, although I can’t detect much in the way of coffee.
