American Barleywine 10 º 80 IBU

Nøgne Ø

Nøgne Ø # 100 is an intense and assertive American Barleywine that masterfully bridges the gap between deep malt complexity and aggressive hop character. It pours with a striking copper depth, releasing high-intensity aromas of resinous pine and citrusy hops underpinned by bready, toasted malt and light caramel sweetness. Despite its high gravity, the beer is crafted to be more agile on the palate than typical examples, delivering a massive hop bitterness that cuts through the rich, malty backbone. This contemplative ale offers a velvety texture and a significant, smooth alcohol warmth, culminating in a dry, lingering, and resiny finish.

Appearance. Deep copper to amber with brilliant clarity and visible ruby highlights; forms a moderately low, off-white head with fair retention and noticeable legs upon swirling.

Aroma. High intensity featuring assertive resinous and citrusy hop notes; strong bready and toasted malt richness with hints of light caramel; low fruity esters and a clean, noticeable alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial bready malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by a massive, aggressive hop bitterness; hop flavors of pine and grapefruit zest are prominent; moderate malt complexity with toasted notes; finish is dry to off-dry and very long, characterized by lingering hop resins and warming alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a velvety, luscious texture; moderate carbonation; significant and smooth alcohol warmth is present throughout without being harsh or solventy.
