3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 tfredvik (650) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAY 19, 2013
Pours a very dark brown body with a quite large, very lightly tanned, frothy head that reduces to a thin layer, ok lacing. The aroma is sour and crisp, with funky notes, leather, fruit and sour smoke in the back. It’s a gently and mild sourness. The taste is light sour and moderate acidic, too acidic in my opinion, it reduces the drinkability considerably. There are only faint notes of fruit in the flavours, I prefer sours with more obvious sweet fruity elements. The dominant parts are leather, light barnyard and oak. Quite dry on the palate, light-ish body and moderate carbonation. Not one of my favourites from Nøgne Ø.
