UPDATED: MAY 24, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy dark reddish-brown body. Medium off-white head. Nice laces. Lots of fresh and fruity hops in the aroma. Hopbitter taste as wel; citrus and spices. Caramellish malts to balance. A very long and bitter finish. Nice and tasty from Norway’s finest.

Hazy amber with white head. Fruity, hoppy with hint’s of toasted malts. Slight bitterness underneath and rather yeasty.

500ml bottle. Dark amber body with creamy off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt grass and citrus. Fresh, fruity (apricot) and bitter taste. Well balanced, long aftertaste, hoppy with some lovely esters. Also a hint of smoke in the aftertaste. A very enjoyable and complex beer.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is malty, fruity and hoppy. Malty flavor with some nice hoppiness. Long hoppy bitter aftertaste.

500ml bottle from Utobeer. Cloudy amber colour with thin off white head. Sweetish hop aroma, bit of plastic, some promise of syrupy fruit. OK in mouth, some red fruit flavour. Hops on end are quite peppery and hot. Bit muddy and earthy. Hopa are nice, but the rest is not too interesting

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2006 500 ml bottle. Amber in color, and quite hazy. Throws a thick fine-laced head. Strong floral and citrusy aroma, clearly from American hops. Medium bodied. Bitter flavour with malts capable of standing up against the hop punch. Rounded, toasted and bready malts are very appropriate for this beer. Aftertaste is mellower, but holds a lot of hop aromatics and bitterness. 2006-11-29: Dark amber colour with a slight haze, obviously from the fact that the bartender poured every last bit from the bottle into my glass. Distinct hop aroma, with bold pungent citrusy american hops and a nutty bold malt component. Strong hoppy flavours, nicely balanced by a rich malty flavour. Aromatic malts, much more that I can remember finding in any of their other beers. That is not to say that their other beers are thin - something they are definitely not. It is just that this one is very rich and aromatic. I suspect that they’ve used aromatic or biscuit malts. Not that much hops in the flavour and the finish as upfront. There is a somewhat old oxidized edge to the beer. In all a rich and malty beer balanced by pungent hops. This is quite a bold Amber compared to other ambersI’ve had.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2008 Bottle 0,5l. Bach 153. Orange brown colour. Cloudy. Lasting tanned head.A rounded body with some fruity hints. After a while the bitter aftertaste kicks in - and lasts forever. The normal heavy sedimentation from Nøgne Ø. KI=8

Cloudy, orangey-brown with a rich, stable off-white head. Intense Some grassiness also. citrus hop aroma with carae in the background. Sweet caramel countered by citrus and very good bitterness, giving a dry finish. Medium body. Not as full-bodied and accomplished as their IPA, this Amber from Nøgne Ø is still a prime beer.

Batch 153. Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Norway. Golden and hazy body. Grassy and fruity nose. Roundness and deph in flavour. Taste of fresh apples. Light malty and hoppy palate. Smooth and very easy too drink. Fruitiness along the finish.

Bottled. Dark golden , beige head. Fruity bitterness in the finish. Easy drinkable
