Nisseøl

Denmark·Double West Coast IPA
Tap to rate

A Christmas beer built from the brewers' festive hop wish list: Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Strata and Krush in T90, Cryo, CGX, DynaBoost and HyperBoost forms, triple dry hopped in a Modern West Coast double IPA. The aroma and flavour are big and bright: blueberry kush, tropical herbs, juicy peaches, candy floss, grapes, strawberry and passion fruit. Nisseøl returns at Christmas.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately fruit-forward and aromatic, dominated by blueberry kush and tropical stone fruit—ripe peach and passion fruit leap out first. Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic hops layer in herbal, slightly spicy notes with a candy floss sweetness that softens the overall profile without masking the bright hop character.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full-bodied, delivering intense stone fruit and berry flavors with a subtle grape undertone. Mid-palate balances the hoppy bitterness (100 IBU) against fruit juice and herbal complexity; the mouthfeel remains lively and refreshing despite the 9% ABV. Finish grows increasingly bitter and dry, with lingering hop resins and fading citrus notes.

◑ Finish

Medium to long finish with clean hop bitterness and a slight herbal bite. Residual fruit fades into a dry, slightly resinous aftertaste.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
