Nøgne Ø Imperial IPA (#500) | |
---|---|
Appearance | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The beer has a darkish red-brown color, and is hazy (the beer is unfiltered and bottle conditioned), with an slight tan head (leaving some lacing along the glass). | |
Smell | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The beer has a sweet malty smell, with slight citrusy and piney hop aroma. (Note: I currently have a cold, so my olfaction isn't at its best) | |
Taste | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The initial taste is sweet and malty (caramel?), with the bitterness and hoppiness slowly building up. The sweetness and hoppiness disguise the high alcohol content well. | |
Mouthfeel | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The body is quite thick, sweet, and oily, with moderate carbonation. |
Overall | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It is a good beer, but I don't feel it is worth the high price payed for it. The beer is a little too sweet for my taste, but the hop level is nice. |
Edit: After drinking a 1.5 month old #500 I can just say that the flavor is a 4.5 (alot of citrusy and resiny hop tones) and that the overall grade is 4. A fantastic DIPA that unfortunately is on the expensive side.
