Commercial Description:
This beer has its orgin in the Bavarian beer type ’festbier’ or ’oktoberfestbier’. Like ’festbier’ and ’vienna style beer’, Nils Oscar Kalasöl is of a somewhat darker type. The Nils Oscar Kalasöl is produced with both münchenermalt, dark caramelmalt, chocolatmalt and some roasted barley. The choice of hops is a mix of four kinds where the most characteristic are brittish fuggles, american cascade and czech saaz.
Kalasöl is a rounded beer with a mildly roasted breadish character. It can be recommended together with heavy foods, like joints of roast meat, spicy stews, broiled meat and fowl.

Bottle. Not as unusual as some of their beers by still a bit interesting. Dark orange appearance with a small head.Pleasant but unusually mundane for this brewery.Or perhaps I was in a grumpy mood when I tried it.

Bottle. Red, brown with a small head. Aromas are woody, spicy and dry with nutty notes and some vinegar. Flavours are sweet toffee malts with spicy, earthy hops. Dry and woody with hints of fruit. Good.

Orangish copper with an amber hue to it. Small tan head. Malty flavor with a dry finish. I was impressed with this beer. I just picked up the Nils Oscar Imperial Stout and cant wait to try that. Good Scandanavian beer.

Bottle. Brownish and reddish beer with a malty and rich aroma. The flavour is rich and malty, mildly vinous and roasted. Overall a nice beer.

small, almost non existant off-white head. Ruby colour. Aroma of grapefruit, spices and sweet malt. Flavour is full of bread and a distinct hoppyness. There is almost some faint traces of smoke in the flavour too. A great vienna.

My Bottom Line:
Caramelized, bready malts remain crisp enough to build a sessionable and clean Vienna-style experience, while leafy hops brush its background efficiently.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the clear, dark russet.
-Bitterness (and hop presence overall) is quite low. The finish remains quite dry though.
-Slight fruitiness roams throughout, but never bothers.
-This is not a memorable lager, but I’m sure it’s always a pleasant pint when you’re thirsty.

Bottle.

Pours a really pretty dark orange with an amber hue and a small frothy creamy beige head. Aroma of lightly oxidized hops, crusty bread, very light sweetness. Semi-sweet first taste that immediately turns very dry, bread crumbs, interesting hop spice, a bit bland. Nice smooth body though...

Bottle 50cl. Amber/Orange/brown body with a small dense head. Caramel and malt in the nose. Rather sweet body with malt and hops as the dominating parts and a nice bitter finish. Nice beer!
