Bottled, #8 (bottled 030621). The beer hasn’t been brewed for three years, but one bottle was found on the brewery when moving to the new location. I will rerate when a new batch is brewed sometime. It looks slightly hazy and golden-orange, and low on Co2, with a white head. The aroma is mild, with fruits dominating, pineapple, peach, banana and some spices. The flavor is the same, with some cloves in the finish. A bit thin and sticky mouthfeel. I remember this to be better three years ago, but whether this is due to my preferences or the cellaring time, I don’t know. (060530)

500ml bottle. Cloudy pale yellow beer with a big white head. Great fruity aroma with some banana/ester. Very flavorful, some citrus, banana and a sharp dry aftertaste. A great wit, only a bit negative on a slightly watery body.

Bottle. Tasted many in 2004. Tasted again in 2006 from a bottle " best before date 2004" More matured but not out of date. Orange colour with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and yeast. Flavour is the same.

500 ml bottle. Reddish brown body with decent off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt and hey. Taste of slightly burnt caramel malt with a hint of chocolate/coffee. Quite bitter aftertaste.

500 ml bottle. Golden colour with a frothy off-white head. Slightly roasted aroma with citrus and malt. A well balanced beer with a pleasant mix of bitterness, aroma hops and sweetness. A very nice refreshing bitter in British style with a hint of American hops.

500ml bottle from Ølutsalget i Tromsø (just arrived). Hazy golden with an inviting aroma of coriander. Fresh flavour of orange and orange shell. Basic Nøgne Ø with a solid bitter and hoppy finish. Perhaps the best summertime refreshment from a Norwegian Brewery.

500 ml bottle. Tasted fresh in 2003 but without any rating in mind. Not my favorite beer from Nøgne Ø. Tasted again in 2006 from a bottle with “best before date” in 2004. Presumably not much difference from the fresh version. A bit more matured but not out of date. The color is a bit orange with some milky/cloudy character. OK head, does not pour with the disreputable volcano foam top that some of these beer did in 2003. Taste is relatively neutral, not unpleasant, a hint of citrus fruit and in fact quite pleasant. The sediment in the bottle is almost like glued so I did not had any change to do the yeast experience. Still the least interesting beer from Nøgne Ø and ironically one of the better beer on the Norwegian marked.

Bottle. Black colour with light brown head. Roasted Coffee and some fruitiness in the aroma. Dry roasted coffee flavour .
