Nøgne Ø Global Pale Ale is pretty much the latest beer to leave the production line, make it into bottles and is currently being rolled out to shops in Norway.
13 different hops from all over the globe, from England, Slovenia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, USA, Germany & Australia, this sounds very hoppy already.
Appearance is a little darker than the regular Pale Ale with a hazy golden to amber colour with a large white head. Right off the bat, the aroma jumps right out of the bottle and gives you a few slaps on the face, telling you that this baby is very hoppy, fresh and going to make your tongue tingle. Some pine, grapefruit and grassy tomes in this gorgeous aroma that initially is quite strong but gradually mellows out. Lots of fresh citrus fruits, the aroma on this beer is up there with the regular IPA from Nøgne Ø which says a lot about the very high quality of this beer.
What I loved about this beer is the balance and drink ability, having 13 different hops but still have an IBU of just 40 and not be too bitter and overpowering is what make Nøgne Ø Global Pale Ale a great people beer. There is a mild spiciness in the taste and the bitterness and carbonation is spot on, this will be a great hoppy craft beer to have available in the local food shops in Norway.
