Nils Oscar Kalaspåsköl

Nils Oscar Kalaspåsköl (33 cl bottle) 5,6%
This is another Easter beer released at Systembolaget on the 15th of March. I tried this with the Easter food last year and gave it a 2,3/5, with this comment:

"It tasted of bread, caramel and a hint of burned toast and metal. Was pretty boring with low taste and smell, but was ok in combination with the food."

Style: Amber Ale
Cost: 19,30 SEK

Appearance: 3/5
Clear dark amber liquid, medium sized light beige head that left an even layer of foam on the side of the glass.

Smell: 4/10

Weak smell of caramell and bread.

Taste: 5/10
Mild taste of bread, caramell and malt.

Mouthfeel: 5/5

Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a medium thick body and low carbonation.

Comment:
Very easy to drink but also very mild with a malty caramel flavour. I think it was to mild though, would have loved some more flavour. I had to concentrate to feel anything at all.

This one worked well with the Easter food last year, and I suspect it will work well this year as well.


Total: 2,7/5
