Opigårds Easter Ale

Oppigårds Easter Ale (50 cl bottle) 5,3%
This is another Easter Beer that was released at Systembolaget on the 15th of March. I tried it with with the Easter food last year and gave it a 2,6/5. This a short comment from that test:

"Had a metallic taste and smell with some hops and spices. It wasn’t very exciting but it worked very well with the salty food."

Appearance: 3/5
Clear amber liquid with a dirty white head that left chunks of foam on the side of the glass.

Smell: 6/10
Fruity, caramel, malt, citrus, some oranges and a hint of metal.

Taste: 6/10
Caramel, malt and some fruits, also a hint of metal.

Mouthfeel: 2/5
Metallic, medium smooth, medium thick body, low-medium carbonation.

Comment:
Slightly below average English style ale. Mild, fruity and fairly easy to drink, but the metallic taste and mouthfeel draws down the points.

This beer worked well with the salty and fat Easter food last year and I got a feeling it will be just as good this year as well.

Total: 2,8/5
