Description
Sagene Bryggeri is a microbrewery at Sagene in Oslo, Norway. The brewery was established in 2013, in central Oslo on the banks of Akerselva river. The brewery is located in the venerable premises in the former Hjula Veveri, that once housed weavers that created woven fabrics for the population of Oslo.

We have unassuming enough as an ambition to become "Oslo beer." To achieve this, we produce the craft beer in our premises at Sagene. In addition, we have entered into a long-term collaboration with Arendal's brewery for the production of Sagene lager beer for grocery chains, as well as Vinmonopolet bottle shops, bars and restaurants. From 2024 all beers are brewed by Arendals.

330ml bottle bought at Kjeller 5. Dense, off-white, two-finger sized head to a crystal clear golden-brown body. Modest smell of caramel and earth. Watered caramel malty flavours, hints of wort. Grainy bitter endnotes. Drinkable, but not more (Tromsø 31.12.2015).

330 ml bottle. Clear, rather pale golden body with a white head that fades quite fast. Not much aroma here, some grain and that’s all. Flavor is like a plain down watered general industrial lager. No obvious faults, but no real flavor or bitterness either. Body is not as thin as expected, that’s almost like a surprise with so little malt flavor. It’s more than less like any other non-alcoholic pilsner style beers, but certainly among the less flavored one. Drinkable if this is what you need, but there are better alternatives out there. I really don’t see the connection with Christmas here as most traditional Christmas dishes deserve some malt flavors and at least some bitterness. Pure water would do the same job in this case.

Bottle. A clear, dark amber colored beer with a small, light beige colored head. The aroma is mostly on the caramel side, with a sourish mash touch and some grass and pine cone hints. It’s quite bitter on the palate, dry and medium bodied with a bit hard carbonation. Lots of caramel in the flavor, with a harsh bitterness, some pine cones, grass and leaves. Long finish. Well, it’s certainly not my kind of Christmas beer. In fact, it’s not my kind of beer at all. It’s drinkable indeed, but it needs some preferably solid food to mask some of the flavor. 151129

Bottle. It’s a clear, dark amber to copper colored beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is rather bready and spent grains-like, with a certain fruityness and some grassy, piney hints. It’s medium bodied with a soft carbonation and it’s semi-dry. A distinct bitterness saves it from being relly poor, with flavors of spent grains and bread taking up most of the space on your tastebuds. Grains, bitterness and some piney, grassy notes. Not awful, but sure not worth the hazzle. 151129

Gulbrun klar med fingerhøyt hvitt skum. Lukter sukker, korn og noe karamell. Søtlig med lett bitterhet i avsluttningen, men den søte kandis og noe brente karamellsmaken sitter lengst.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, dense, white head. The aroma is mostly on the fruity, malty, worty side, with some grass and hay. Wet cardboard too. It’s quite dry on the palate, with a solid dose of wet cardboard, some wort and a fruity touch. Medium body, soft carbonation. Long awful finish. Rather horrific this one. 150711
