PisseNisse

Tap to rate

A light, orange-infused IPA'ish, dry-hopped with orange peel and flowery hops. The name is a wink: it is for the moment the Christmas nisse has peed on your holiday sugar feast and you need reminding that spring follows Christmas and the nisse moves back to the attic. It rests on pilsner, Munich and wheat malt and is one of Bøgedal's seasonal beers.

Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

A bright golden-orange hue that catches the light with transparency and clarity. The head forms with modest retention, settling into a fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is visible and brisk, creating a lively visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

Orange peel dominates the nose, offering a fresh citrus character that frames the beer's identity. Behind the citrus emerges a subtle floral quality from the dry-hop selection, with delicate herbal notes. The malt foundation remains restrained, contributing only a whisper of wheat and bread-like warmth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright orange and citrus flavors that align with the aroma's promise, supported by a light, crisp malt base. The bitterness arrives with moderate presence—60 IBU—and remains dry throughout, never cloying. Floral hop character weaves through the mid-palate, while wheat malt adds a subtle grainy texture without heaviness.

◑ Finish

A clean, short to medium finish that fades with lingering dryness and a faint orange zest. The aftertaste leaves no residual sweetness, instead offering a refreshing, crisp farewell.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
