Pours a dark amber with thick, fine beige head.

Smell is malty with plenty of caramel and some floral and peppery notes.

Taste is very balanced, with a nice malty base with a bit of caramel carrying the floral hops to a medium bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium, almost creamy, and well carbonated.

Overall, a solid dark beer, nothing spectacular, but so well made and balanced.

It's a shame that a beer that smells and tastes as this lacks body. But it's very drinkable nevertheless.

Easter ale from 2013. On the bottle it says: Best before august 2013.

Rubyred-orange beer that are a little hazy.

Two finger high, white, head that leaves lacing on the glass.
Nose: Caramel malt, dried fruit, mango, orange marmelade and oak.
Taste: Caramel, brown sugar, toffee, dark fruit, spices and malt.

I'm supriced this taste so good! Great nose and likewise taste! Best before seven months ago - I don't think so! This is delicious!

I would say it's even better now than when I tried it when it was fresh at easter 2013...

A: Pours an amber colored beer into the glass. The two finger high head is colored off white. The liquid is clear without any sign of carbonation.

S: Smells of dark malts, citrus tones, dried grass and finishes off with grapefruit and orange peel.

T: The taste is very balanced between the malts and the hops. It has a clean bitter aftertaste and American citrus hops up front. There is definitely more orange peel then grapefruit in this one.

M: Light to medium body with a faint carbonation.

O: A good ale with the typical Oppigårds characteristics. Well balanced all in all.

Testing this beer well chilled, poured from a bottle into a tulip glass.

A: Pouring this copper red/brown beer into the glass creates a small (1cm / ½-inch) thick foamy head that shrinks relatively fast.

S: The smell is pretty much what i did expect, there's plenty of malty and sweet tones in here together with some bitter tones in the back.

T: As found in the smell there is lots of malts in here. But contrary the sweet tones found in the smell, the taste got more roasted tones. There's a very nice and well balanced hoppy bitterness all over the taste making it very good.

M: There's nice carbonation going on here that hits you at first. Then the roasted malt tones and the bitterness comes in, they are working good together and ends in a more dry mouthfeel at the end.

O: A great tasting easter ale with plenty of roasted malt tones that works great in combination with the well balanced hops.
