Nils Oscar Farm Ale

Formerly brewed at Nils Oscar
Style: English Pale Ale
Nyköping, Sweden

Clear amber colour with a small off white head. Malty, caramel sweet aroma with notes of hops. Light malty and caramel sweet flavor with a balanced hoppy bitterness. Dry and bitter finish.

33 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Clear amber colour with a head with lances. Arome of hops, combined with caramel and maltness. Nice mouthfeel, very tasty flavour of light malt and light hops but ends up quite bitter at the end.

Bottle. BB July 05, 9 months ago. Nice, fresh, teaish hop aroma. Clear orange colour. Very small white head. The flavour is also nice and aroma hoppy with a little tea to it. A little watery, not surprising, considering ABV. Does not taste old, still nice.

Medium offwhite head of coarse lace over brown body. Sweet caramel malt aroma with roasted almond and toffee notes. Taste is very like the aroma with a softly bitter aftertaste. Slightly watery. Delicate, drinkable, interesting, and just plain lovely. I could happily drink a barrel of this.

Draught at Bishops Arms (avenyn) in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Light brown to dark amber color. Finger thick beige creamy head. Sweet like suryp scent, mix of a special malt, think it’s wiener malt, and hops.
A bit of citrus hops in the taste as well as the slightest tone of coffee.
Medium body and bitterness.
Fresh fruity and citrus hoppy aftertaste.
The way I remember the bottle I like the draught a bit better.
All in all nice and refreshing.

Bottle from the Swedish government owned "Systembolaget". February 18, 2006.
Dark amber color and a big long lasting white head. Nutty scent. Good initial bitterness, long fruity after taste.

Bottle. Amber colour with a white head. Malty and hoppy aroma. A little sweet malty flavor with hints of hops and fruits. Sweet malty aftertaste.

Bottle, at home. Light orange with off-white head, mostly diminishing, modest lacings. Aroma moderate malty and hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Light body, watery, lively carbonated.

Rerated on Sep 2, 2006. Bottle. Gone was the cardboard nose, making me fully appreciate the marriage betwewen toffee caramel and citrus, also in the flavours. Its highly drinkable ale, low in alcohol and body, yet still enjoyable. Original rating: Clear amber with a small head. Sweet caramel and fruity aroma, but also with notes of wet cardboard. Flavour is sweet caramel balanced by good bitterness. Citric and fruity hoppiness. Somewhat thin, medium carbonation. (5-3-6-3-10=2.7)
