Mikkeller Draft Bear

Flaske. Rød orange let uklar. Fantastisk skumhoved, der fortsatte i en uendelighed. Duft af citron, humlen slår virkelig igennem, nærmest en IPA lavet på undergær. Smagen er kraftigt humlet med citron og en anelse mango i slutnoten.

[1285-20080410] 1pt9.4floz. Tangerine lemon pip hops aroma, lots of sweet pips. Hazy, medium orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Sweet orange bitter pip hops flavour has notes of lemon slices. Medium body is bitter. Very nice bitter, well-balanced.

Pours a thin golden with a huge airy sudsy off-white foam on top. Interesting aroma, malty, light caramel, with touches of fruit, mango/peach, and what seems like some german hops. Wonderful and unique, maintains the pilsner quality without letting the alcohol destroy it. Light candied malt, very nice too, merged with very flavorful grassy and floral hops, perfect amount of light sweet spring-time fruit, mango, grapefruit and peaches. A fantastic lasting mellow bitterness. Medium body, a bit creamy with very low carbonation. This stuff is pretty juicy with no signs of alcohol. I am a fan of this one.

750ml bottle. Best by 12/13/09. Attractive aroma of citrusy hops, mango, and caramel. I love that combination. Poured a slightly hazy medium orange color. The head was thick, foamy, and white with excellent retention and lacing. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet with mild to moderate hop bitterness (4 out of 10) that lingered. The flavor was similar to the nose (citrus and caramel). There was also a grassy note and some definite alcohol. Delicious beer. I would happily drink this any time.

750 ml bottle. If this is pilsner than I want more pilsners. To me it was more like a combo of belgian blonde and apa.Pours a nice amber color. Nice hoppy but yeasty nose, smells great, saying drink me now. Kind of a creamy mouthful, but delicious and very drinkable, a great session beer, but watch it with the 8%. Very nice hop flavor with a nice bitter finish.

Bottle from Sam’s Clybourn. I think it is fair to call this an imperial pilsner. Distinctly German, but Pilsner nonetheless. Pour is a hazy gold with rambunctious head. Tasty and bitter, huge noble hop aroma, a little bread. Mostly, though, this is really hoppy and bitter in a clean, somewhat astringent way. Pretty nice, but far from perfect.

Good stuff but dangerous in its drinkability. Hiccup.. Hop happy. Bready, not really. Nice palate, but it is not really a pilsner, though it is good.

The Dan Journal #197. Tasted 7/10/08. 750ml bottle. Clear with a dark golden hue. Clinging ring of trace white head. Spicy hoppy aromas. Medium bodied with high effervescence and a big grapefruit hop character. Nice bitterness.
