Happy #beersaturday with Nogne Global Pale Ale. A real hops explosion!

After the winning of the last week #beersaturday, now I’m excited even more. This contest is sooo great... because you really have the chance to win a beer (or several beers) while having a beer!

This Sunday was somewhat nice to me, as I had some free time just to relax and... grab a beer for this week’s #beersaturday. So in the early afternoon I took the decision to have a walk to my favorite nearby beer shop - Nosferatu. The weather was very sunny, although a bit windy when I checked from the window... Unfortunately 5 minutes later it started raining...

Of course, this didn’t bother me at all... I was going to have a beer just in no time! Huh...
The best part of visiting this beer place is that they have always some different beers on tap. This time I chose a Thornbridge Galaxia - A galaxy pale ale, just for the time I choose a beer for the new #beersaturday.

Wow... I love this hop variety... Galaxy is one of my favorite hops ever!
Next thing, while I was having my Galaxia, of course was to choose a nice beer. Well, to be fair, I was not in a hurry with this nice company. And eventually I picked a beer, that I had once about a month ago. I chose Norway and their Nøgne brewery. And the name just guides you towards what to be expected norm the beer...

“Global Pale Ale. Hoppy Pale Ale”
Hoppy in this case means HOPPY! 13 different hops were used in the making of this one! WOW this really is a lot!
Hops, hops, hops... I love hops!

Look how this can is looking at me...

Well... after opening the can, the hops really kick you in the nose. Is this a Pale Ale or a session IPA?!? Wow... along with the hops some moderate maltiness blends there. Absolutely stunning aroma. Very sweety
and tropical. Punchy! Some distant herbs, a touch of citrus.

In the mouth this beer feels medium thick, not much of a body. Hops are on piadestal and you can taste Mango as the main tropical “player” here. Still, some maltiness and a slight hint of caramel... I love this feeling. Finishes a bit dry, bitter and a little bit grassy.

Will I have another one of these? I don’t really know... but definitely would like to have another one one day. This Norwegian brewery definitely left me with some great feelings about the, and about their product.

Well... I had some fun with my camera... I hope you will enjoy the photo shoot!

Happy #beersaturday to all and, of course, Cheers!
Special thanks to @detlev and all the work he does for this contest!
