From Grimstad Norway's Nøgne Ø comes their "Red Horizon 3 Edition" the third beer brewed in a series using Sake yeast. The beer pours a cloudy brown colour with a very minimal head. The aroma consists of huge fruit notes up front including dark fruits and berries, toffee, brown sugar and alcohol. The flavour is of dark fruits, berries, brown sugar, toffee, treacle, licorice, vanilla, alcohol with lots of sweetness. The alcohol content comes in at 12.5% with an IBU of 100. This edition of Red Horizon is a Barley Wine and has amazing flavour and body. If you find a bottle make sure to pick it up. This beer was brewed on December 20, 2011 and consumed on June 20, 2016 or 4.5 years after brewing. The bottles best before date was December 20, 2016.
Commercial Description: What we have tried to do here is to get the optimum fruitiness out of a sake yeast. This beer was fermented for 10 weeks at low temperature with sake yeast No. 9 to achieve that.
