Nils Oscar Sorachi Blond är kryddad med den japanska humlesorten Sorachi som ger en rik doft av citrus. Just humlen i denna brygd är odlad i USA. Den komplexa aromen förstärks med dofter av enbär och koriander. Jästen är av belgiskt ursprung. Dock är det mer välhumlat än vad den belgiska traditionen bjuder. Utöver detta innehåller ölet flera olika sorters kornmalt och vetemalt. Ölet är fylligt med stor rondör och inte filtrerat. Det passar utmärkt till både ljust kött, fågel, stekt fisk och naturligtvis i ensamt majestät.

Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, Ulfborg 2011. Pours cloudy golden with a small creamy white head and lacings. Sweet and sticky. Belgium yeast - rather anonymous. A bit of sweet bubblegum and grain - BUT the hops are rather anonymous. Medium bodied. Ends dry. Fine.

Bottle. (vintage 2010) Hazy golden with a small white head. Sweet aroma and taste of fruit, citrus, honey and some light spices. Medium carbonation and mouth feel. An ok beer but not that spectacular.

Draught @Pikkulintu. Poured slightly hazy orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity and yeasty, hard to put in words all the aromas. But really nice on the nose. Flavor is lemon, spices, yeast and hops. Bitter finish. Quite nice, very drinkable.

Draught, 300ml, perfectly served lightly chilled at Glenfiddich Warehouse in Gamla Stan. Near clear, amber coloured body under a slowly fading, white tophead. Smooth aroma of died fruits and herbal hops. Fresh fruity taste with hints of dried fruits breaking through supported by lighter notes of caramel malts. Lingering fruit bitterness to the ending. Medium bodied. Quite enjoyable drinking before mid day (Stockholm, 27.07.2010).

Draught at GW68, StockholmOn August 4, 2010Hazy copper color, fluffy lasting light brown head. Phenolic, sweet, light metallic taste; fruity, bitter, herbal, cream aftertaste. Starts off like a Belgian Blonde, finishes almost like an IPA. A bit sweeter with a less dry finish and for me it would’ve been excellent! Still good though.Phenolic, creamy, malty scent. Also some banana esters in the smell. Smooth mouthfeel, medium high bitterness. Some acidity in the taste also, bringing a bit of astringency to the mouthfeel.It’s a bit "spretig" (all over the place), not balanced in the way I appreciate it most. But all in all a rather nice beer. I’m not sure what style I’d call this one, perhaps a "Belgian style IPA"? Tone down the bitterness, loose the acidty, add some more sweetness and caramel, and it would, for my taste, turn from rather nice to very nice.For those that don’t care for "true" Belgian Blondes, the smaller notes of phenoles with the higher bitterness level might be a true hit?Not a session beer, for me at least, in drinkability, more of a farily slow drinker, but not down to only a sipper either.
