Real Ale Guide's Wit , Nøgne - Ø Brewery , Norwegian Craft Beer Review

[NYRfan4ever]

Why did you let all the good beer drip on the floor? haha its cool. Great review!! Cheers Simon!!

[realaleguide]

@NYRfan4ever Hahaha yeah I was thinking the same, but I wanted to show you guys how the beer reacted when I opened it, very lively, cheers

[TassadarArchon]

I wish we could get all these beers in America. Or Tennessee anyways. Our alcohol laws ar draconian to say the least.

[realaleguide]

@TassadarArchon Oh thats a real shame, so can you not get foreign craft beer at all then? Cheers

[radagast83]

I joke with my friends that yeasty beer is better for you than yogurt. The people who get it know what I'm talking about.

[realaleguide]

@radagast83 Hahahaha yes very good, I am going to borrow that one off of you, thanks for watching, cheers

Enjoyed the review Simon. Be interested to see what you think of Caledonian's Flying Dutchman, a wheat beer brewed with corriander, orange peel and liqorice (I know it doesn't sound great but IT REALLY IS!) brewed originally by a Dutch man in Scotland. It' I loved it on cask and I've seen it in Sainsburys in the past in a bottle. I'm yet to give any Nogne beers a try, but will certainly look out for them

[realaleguide]

@jaikoria I am just getting used to this style but the more I review them the more the Wit / Coriander beer are growing on me. I have heard of Flying Dutchman but not reviewed it, will seek it out as it sounds very interesting, cheers

[Kjempetorsken]

Great review! You should seek out more beers from Nøgne Ø. They are all high class! Especially their heavier beers as the mentioned Imp.Stout, the Dark Horizon, #100, #500, Imp.Brown Ale and the IPA.

[realaleguide]

@Kjempetorsken I am just uploading the Imperial Stout now so keep an eye out for that one. I am glad you liked the review, will try and get hold of the rest of their range to review, cheers

[bluelebowski]

I fancy giving these Nogne beers a try given that they invaded in typical viking style about 3 months ago but I just find that they are so expensive that I would rather try other beers. I am not a huge wheat beer fan but appreciate the difference, nice review.

[realaleguide]

@bluelebowski Oh they have invaded have they right where's my sword :) I am just getting into this style now, its nice but if expensive I wont pay the extra, cheers Barry

[GingRealAleTrail]

there NOGNE O - PALE ALE is awesome i had on draft and ended up getting in bottle too

[realaleguide]

@GingRealAleTrail Not tried that one mate but if its a strong recommendation from you I will get it in, cheers Stuart.

[GingRealAleTrail]

@realaleguide too kind

[mrgrimviking]

I need to try more Wit beers. I tend to stay with the Hoegaarden and I need to venture more. I'll give this one a go. I have the Nøgne IPA coming sometime today so I am looking forward to that. Sounds like a great brewery from my favourite country. Cheers!

[realaleguide]

@mrgrimviking Lovely beer this Dave well worth a go. Can I ask whats the story with the Viking :) Cheers

[mrgrimviking]

@realaleguide My parents are Irish, Mum from Cork and Dad from Waterford. About ten years ago I did a ancestory search to find out about the original natives of these areas during the viking crusades as I have always been interested in them, and it turned out my Dad had viking heritage as their ancestors were a mix of Gaelic and Danish. Hence why I have the red beard and dark hair. This could all be speculation but I have always felt an affinity to Scotland, Ireland and Norway.

[realaleguide]

@mrgrimviking I need to check my family tree, see where my history lies cheers Dave :) (Viking roar given)

[mrgrimviking]

@realaleguide Also I love my viking themed metal which is a good excuse to get drunk with friends and shout along to the music.

[HopZine]

Its not even the end of November and the tashola has gone.

I quite like Wit beers, the Ommegang Witte being my favourite so far. I find them rather refreshing in the summer.

"The Real Ale Guides says... quaff a load of sediment and shat yourself inside out. Its cheaper than a colonic!".

[realaleguide]

@HopZine Yes nice beers the Wit style, I was quite surprised to be honest I am not too sure on beers with Coriander but this was brewed nicely. Yes had a Christening to go to on sunday didnt want the tash in there. And yes who needs a Colonic when you can blow yourself apart with Sediment ;) Cheers Rob

[M4rkh0lm]

I'm norwegian and there's plenty of Nøgne Ø beers to buy here. Try their imperial stout, its very strong, but very good.

[mrgrimviking]

@M4rkh0lm Have you tried their IPA?

[M4rkh0lm]

@mrgrimviking

Not their IPA, but their Pale Ale. It was very good aswell. Gonna try the IPA sometime though.

[realaleguide]

@M4rkh0lm I reviewed the Imperial Stout straight after this and will upload it tomorrow, I dont want to spoil it for you, but its well worth a watch, loved this beer, cheers

[TheBBbarfly]

[realaleguide]
