A rather malty brew, which we think goes very well with cheeses - even well matured blue cheeses. You can also try our Amber paired with a grilled dish. Recommended serving temperature 10°C/50°F.
Ingredients: Maris Otter, Munich, and caramel malt; Chinook and Williamette hops; English ale yeast, and our local Grimstad water.

Rapidly dwindling foxy head; foxy-amber beer, hazy. Cookie malts, vanilla, creamy nose, bit dusty, faint hops. Much more pronounced (bitter)hops in the taste, even as far as walnutpeelflavour, roasted flavours too. Bitter taste keeps going on, too harsh. Woody, tannines and cake-malt notes. Light to medium bodied. Hopoil impression. Definitely not the best try by Nøgne. The beer cannot sustain this hopoil onslaught.

Cloudy amber. Fruity hop aroma (blackberry, cloudberry) with a hint of toasted malts. Toasty palate with a slightly earthy hop bitterness underneath. Rather yeasty.

Bottled, surplus from RBSG, thanks oakes, alc. 6.0% (BB 04/2006)
Hazy dark orange, floating black particles. Brownish head. Earthy, crisp aroma. Bitter and yeasty. Mild long bitter finish. I would like to love this beer more but it was just not right there.

(500 ml bottle conditioned). Finally available bottled, this amber ale comes from the micro brewery that make all other Norwegian commercial brewers look ridiculous. ABV bottled is 6.0%. Colour is deep amber to reddish and cloudy. Very good thick head. Lovely complex fruity and flowery aroma - roses and flowers I can't even remember the name of. Flavour is first treacherously pleasant malty, fruity and slightly spicy, then the hops brutally take over with a very bitter (too bitter?) and salty finish. Definitely not a beer for the Corona generation.

Sampled cask conditioned at the Danish Beer Festival.
Cloudy reddish brown. Grassy, flowery hop aroma. Sweet, soft and strikingly hoppy. Salty, bitter finsh with notes of licorice. Still slightly young and raw, and would gain from a few weeks more conditioning.

A dark orange beer - not quite pale. It has a small head - OK for a cask conditioned beer. The aroma is a very faint fruit aroma. The flavor is sweet, prickling with a rounded flatness and notes of orange and malt. A fine but not special flavor.
