I like a good brew.
Not too often but certainly I like it when I have some time off and I feel that thirst!
In Norway we have a beer connoisseur maker called Nogne o = Naked Island beer company.
This is the very best that is made in norway in larger(lager) batches.
Today I tried their Ipa called #500.
The makers words:
"When Nøgne Ø decided to make it’s 500th batch of beer, it was quickly established that the key numbers would be 5 malts, 5 hops, 10% alcohol and 100 IBUs. The result is an incredibly rich and hoppy Imperial IPA. Malty enough to be almost a barley wine, but intensely fruity, mainly because it is dry hopped with generous amounts of Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand.Ingredients: Malted barley, malted wheat, malted rye, malted oats, Chinook, Simcoe, Pacific Gem, Centenneal and Nelson Sauvin hops, English ale yeast and our local Grimstad water."
Now. My user name is Imperial. So I of course had to try a bottle of this superb brew!
And what I can say is that this one is fantastic!!! Very full, creamy and tasty! And super strong! But still the alcohol does not overpower the perfect double IPA that this really is!!!
Nogne O is really a world class beer maker! And this must be their best batch so far!!! Awesome!!
Now good people, do you have other brews that you feel is worthy of a mention?
Imperial.
