Sep 1, 2008 330 mL bottle. Copper-orange with a small, short-lived head. The aroma, is appealing and complex, containing some fresh fruit (peaches, apples), a touch of chocolate, sweetish malt, and some earthy hops. The fruit drop out of the flavour, and the hops step up. Crisp, slightly bitter finish. A very good beer.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle. Medium sized ivory head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and an orange hue. The aroma was malt, bready, toasty, caramel, notes of chocolate, nutty, and sweet. The flavor was malty, caramel, chocolate notes, bready, nutty, and a short dry finish. The mouthfeel was mildly tingly and this beer is medium bodied. While this is not a beer that will knock your socks off, it is a very easy to drink beer, good for the style, nice mouthfeel, worthy of a try, and has a nice flavor. I would revisit this beer again if it came my way.

Orange amber clear with a decent off white head. Smell is light and doughy and sweet, very light overall. Flavor is slightly bitter and hoppy citris. Not heavy or too bold but super drinkable and enjoyable. Overall, a very sharp and clean flavor. Nice well fitting mouthfeel. One of the better or perhaps the best Nils Oscar beers I have tried.

Jul 20, 2008 Pours a very slightly hazy amber with a small white filmy head. Smell is slightly funky, toasty malt. Taste is crisp hoppiness up front followed by a nice smooth toasty sweetness that is pretty nice. Nice fairly full mouthfeel with prickly carbonation. Much better than I was expecting. Nicely bittered to balance and a flavorful maltiness. Really, a pretty good beer.
