Amundsen Bryggeri - Night Sleigher

Forget the traditional Christmas stout – Amundsen Brewery is delivering a sleigh-load of tropical hops this festive season! Night Sleigher is a bold, juicy 7.5% Hazy Double IPA from Norway's celebrated craft brewery, swapping the familiar flavours of chocolate, cinnamon and festive spices for an exhilarating explosion of pineapple, orange and ripe tropical fruit. Bursting with vibrant citrus aromas and luscious fruit character, this generously hopped creation brings a welcome splash of sunshine to the darkest winter evenings. Expect enticing impressions of freshly squeezed orange juice, succulent pineapple and ripe mango, all wrapped up in the soft, hazy character that makes modern New England-style Double IPAs so irresistible.

On the palate, Night Sleigher delivers generous waves of juicy tropical fruit, with pineapple and orange taking centre stage alongside hints of mango, grapefruit and delicate resinous hops. Its smooth, rounded malt backbone provides a satisfying body, allowing the expressive hop flavours to shine while a measured bitterness keeps the beer refreshing and beautifully balanced. At a substantial 7.5% ABV, there's plenty of strength beneath that soft, juicy exterior, but the vibrant citrus character ensures it remains wonderfully drinkable. The finish is fruity, aromatic and gently bitter, leaving lingering impressions of tropical fruit, fresh orange zest and subtle pine. A fantastic choice for hop lovers who prefer their Christmas beers bursting with fruit rather than festive spices – because who says Santa can't enjoy a tropical getaway?
