COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer has its orgin in the Bavarian beer type ’festbier’ or ’oktoberfestbier’. Like ’festbier’ and ’vienna style beer’, Nils Oscar Kalasöl is of a somewhat darker type. The Nils Oscar Kalasöl is produced with both münchenermalt, dark caramelmalt, chocolatmalt and some roasted barley. The choice of hops is a mix of four kinds where the most characteristic are brittish fuggles, american cascade and czech saaz.
Kalasöl is a rounded beer with a mildly roasted breadish character. It can be recommended together with heavy foods, like joints of roast meat, spicy stews, broiled meat and fowl.

Pinball (7772) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUN 26, 2008
delicious strong aroma, dark fruits , citrups, hops. clear dark yellow with large lasting off-white head. Flavor : fantastic. ipa style , but somewhat underplayed and thus extremely drinkable. well balanced, i can’t figure what it tastes like, but it is very very good. both appearance and palate is like 3.49 or so, but i’ll add one in overall to compensate. If You like non-extreme IPA style beers with a clear micro/quality taste, this one is fantastic.

Cobra (1076) - In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA - JUN 14, 2008
11.2 oz. brown bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep amber color, with a minuscule tan head. Aromas are of sweet malts, slight caramel, earthy hops. Flavors are chalky malts, slight sweetness, not much else. A mediocre beer at best.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 11, 2008
Bottle shared by Blake. Clear amber body, not much head. Nutty, malty aroma. The flavor really picks it up because of unripened-fruit bitter hopping, and a clean, firm maltiness. A very solid beer. Clean & well executed.

1FastSTi (2992) - Glendale, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 10, 2008
Pours to a clean orange body with a thin creamy white head. The aroma is grainy with a subtle butterscotch. Grain dusts. The flavor is nutty with some peanuts and filberts. Nice grain bed flavor. The palate is lightly astringent with a malty mouthfeel. A good fest beer.

trokini (1027) - San Diego, California, USA - JUN 9, 2008
So Kalasol means Vienna. This is a good beer. Pours clear copper with a firm white head. Crisp aroma of honey, oranges, corn, herbs, and rye bread. Light caramel malt with tart peppery Saaz hops and a mild cirtus taste blended together. Nothing overpowers, leaving a clean taste and finish.

nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUN 8, 2008
33 cl. Clear darkish copper with a three-finger head that leaves crunchy lace. Earthy orange, honey, grain and slight chocolate and corn aromas. Taste is caramel, cocoa, earthy grain, molasses, toasted nut, and resin. Also some light corn, grass, citrus, and occasional gunmetal. Medium body is mostly smooth, and finishes dry. This one and the Brooklyn Lager beat the heck out of Eliot Ness, as far as tasty Viennas.
