Commercial Description:
1820 började England exportera ett speciellt öl till Indien. Dett kallades för India Ale. För att klara den långa transporten var ölet kraftig humlat. Nils Oscar India Ale. är en modern tolkning av klassisk India Ale. Ölet baseras på humlesorten Amarillo, som tydligt markerar sin närvaro i ölet. Aromen har drag af tropiska frukter och citrus. Nils Oscar India Ale är överjäst på pilsner-, münchener- och karamellmalt. Passa till nästan all mat, mer är givetvis utsökt även på egen hand.

33cl bottle pours as red amber with a white head, smells of hops citrus and pine. Mouthfeel is quite carbonated. Tastes of hops, butter and sweet toffee. Not really my favorite, abit too bitter and sweet.

nice bittersweet aroma. clear yellow, small white head. sweet and bitter like a pale ale, but it´s not very powerfull. might be the alc%. too much "ordinary" beer in the taste. But very good. Very drinkable. And "stronger" than the 5.3% alc. indicates.

Doesn’t really taste like a pale ale. Sharp metallic bite. Brown pour with a soft head. Grassy hops on the nose.

33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. I had good memories about this one. Aroma is lightly hoppy with citrus fruits. Flavour is lightly hoppy with citrus, grapefruit. Some malty caramel too. A bit of spicey yeast, which doesn’t really fit in. I think this was better a year ago or so? Or maybe it just was this bottle. Or something.

(330 ml bottle (labelled "India Pale Ale" from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/w target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Pours hazy light amber with a tall biscuit head that’s a little rocky. Aroma of pine/grapefruit and a bit of bready caramel. Mouthfeel fairly smooth but lightly pebbly. Fairly full-textured. Lots of lightly foamy broken lacing. Flavor is medium-bitter with notes of light pine and grapefruit rind over some lightly bready caramel and vanilla. Even has a hint of nuttiness. Finishes fairly bittter and leaves a bit of a lasting bitter grapefruit rind coating on the tongue. A bit different than a US-style IPA with no floral or fruity notes. More like an ESB perhaps. Pretty tasty but a bit timid.

not too much to rate about, the smell is european malts with a touch of honey. taste and palate is kinda weak. even though its an IPA it feels kinda weak in the taste. worth a try though.

Labeled India Pale Ale. The aroma has grassy hops with cereal and yeast. The appearance is amber gold with a good head. The flavor is like the aroma and not much like an IPA, meaning not much hop bitterness. The palate is average. Overall not that good.

Pours to a glowing copper penny body with a thin but creamy white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is catty hops and really toasted pale malts. The flavor is extremely toasty malt. Some light grassy hops. Malt is in the forefront. Not really hoppy as I’d expect. Nutty brown ale?
