| Nøgne Ø India Pale Ale | |
|---|---|
| Appearance |    |
| The beer has a golden-amber color, and is hazy (the beer is unfiltered and bottle conditioned), with an slight cream-colored head. | |
| Smell | |
| The beer has a citrusy and resiny aroma, coupled with some sweet and caramelly maltiness. A very slight perfume-like tone as well, that feels like it shouldn't be there. | |
| Taste | |
| The initial taste is malty, with tones of caramel and biscuits, which is quickly overtaken by some hop flavours with tones of grapefruit, pine and grass. The taste ends in a pleasant bitterness on the tongue. The flavours are very well balanced. | |
| Mouthfeel | |
| The beer has a medium body, with moderate carbonation, which make the beer easily drinkable. Well balanced, with a slightly dry finish. | |
| Overall | |
|---|---|
| A good beer, that is (like other beers from the same brewery) a little on the expensive side. Compared to the #500, this beer is less sweet and a little milder in taste. Overall a tasty brew that I definitely would drink again. | |
