Nils Oscar Farm Ale

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

Bottled (BB 04/2005)
Copper brown, small brown head. Ashy nose with hints of caramel. Week palate, but very balanced with slightly roasted malts. Mild bitter aftertaste. My first English Pale Ale!

Very impressive dark copper color. Low carbonation and no head. The beer feels light for a pale ale. However a growing herbal (spices?) flavor has appeared as I took the last drops. An interesting ale. Thanks Eructoblaster!

Bottle - 33cl. Nice amber body topped with a diminishing white bubbly head. Average malty aroma with flowery and hoppy hints. Taste is very well balanced. Flavors of hops, herbs, and flowers. Robust bitter finish. Good and refreshing ale.

Flavor and aroma is fantastic for a pale ale, lots of good maltiness. Hard to find any hops in the aroma. Pale yellow, medium head.

This is a great ale! Dark amber in color. Has a aroma from hops and malt. Feels a little thin in palate.

The small, beige foam dissolves quite quickly into a thin, smooth layer. The colour is clear, medium dark amber. The major note in the smell is bitter malts and a slightly sour touch of hops. The smell is pretty mild. The level of the carbonation is just right, but the small bubbles that tickles the mouth in an almost irritating way. The taste starts with a sweet flavour that includes some diacetyl. The touch of walnuts evolves into a taut and almost plain bitterness with a gentle touch of cinnamon and canned vegetables. I have heard a lot of good things regarding this ale, but I must admit that although I found it well made, it was surprisingly simple and a little... dull. Yes, one can say that I am a slightly disappointed.

Dark golden color, Sweet caramel aroma and taste, medium body, full dry bitter finish.

Nice fruity aroma, malty, roasted. Light hops. Dark amber clear with low head. Medium body with light-medium carbonation. Starts mild acidic, hoppy, good malt. Finish is hoppy, light carbonic. Mild malt after, light bitte
