Nils Oscar Saison

Brewed by Nils Oscar
Style: Saison
Nyköping, Sweden

Draught at OT. I tried this a year ago when the brewery released a triel batch. Then I found it good but a litle young and not fully fermented with a small residual sweetness. Now it’s much better. The aroma is small to start with but as the beer warms up a litle the aroma of spices, farmhouse hay and earth is pronounced. The taste is fresh with fruits and a plesant bitterness. A good summer saison with a medium body.

Bottle. Cloudy dark deep golden colour with a white head. Aroma: fruity, spicy and a bit yeasty, notes of herbs, hops. Taste: fruity, fresh, juicy, lightly spicy, lightly yeasty, wheat, light hop bitterness, oranges,herbs, raisins, light pepper. Very drinkable.

Draft at Glenfiddich Warehouse, Stockholm - Hazy orange golden beer with a large off white head. Aroma is malty with dominant spicy notes and with hints of ripe fruits. Flavor is sweet and very fruity with notes of oranges, spices and hops. Very nice and highly drinkable. Highly refreshing and one of the best Saisons I’ve had.

Bottled. Pours out in a hazy deep golden colour with a rich sticky white foam. Yeasty notes of pepper, herbs, cheese and green leaves. Medium-bodied with notes of yeast, toasted bread, herbs, roasted nuts, anise, pepper and noble fragrant hops. Solid mouthfeel. Long yeasty and spicy finish with notes of almonds, pale wood, spices, mild pepper and fresh grassy hops. Elegant Saison!

(Bottle) Pours light hazy deep golden with a small off-white head. The aroma is fruity and spicy up front with a good malt foundation and a laid-back hop profile. Malty notes of bread and nuts. The hops bring hints of resin, wood, hay, earth, spices, mild grass, mild grapefruit and orange. Undertones of mild sweaty cheese, thyme, sugar, exotic fruit juice, earthy/spicy yeast, vanilla/banana dessert and canned pears with whipped cream. Dried fruits like raisins and apricots. A “green” herbal and floral touch is notable. Tiny clove phenols. The flavour is light sweet, light bitter and light acidic. Tones of pepper, herbs, juicy and dried fruits, bread, nuts, light citrus and honey. The hop level is perfect. The mouthfeel is juicy and clean with a medium carbonation. The finish is dry, medium malty, light hoppy, light acidic and spicy touch. Medium bodied. This beer is perfectly balanced and without any off flavours, maybejust a bit too clean.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden, rich head. Strong aroma of banana and coriander. Sweet and fruity, soft and juicy with above mediu body. Rather hoppy with plenty of spicy hay. Flavourful and well organize. Dries out towards a finish that holds lightly resiny bitterness. Stylish and absolutely flawless. If anything it lacks that magic wow that some beers just has.
