Commercial Description:
Brewed by Mikkeller at De Proefbrouwerij in Lochristi, Belgium.

’Fad bamse’ is a highly hopped and dry hopped imperial pilsner with a light body and lovely crispyness from the lager yeast.
A Danish pilsner is typically characterized by an alcohol content of 4,6% vol., piss-yellow colour and a sexless, slightly bitter taste. But it doesn’t have to be like this…! Draft Bear is Mikkellers interpretation of a ’pilsner’, heavyweight-style. With its powerful hop notes, high alcohol content and lovely golden appearance, the only reference to the pilsner style is the clean taste of the lager yeast.
Ingredients : Water, malts (pils, carapils and amber), light candy sugar, hops (amarillo and cascade) and lager yeast.

Slightly cloudy, orange-yellow beer with big and lasting cream-yellow head. Aroma is stunning, tropical sweet fruits, at the least grapefruit and mango and some bitterness. Flavour is also great, fruits, some pine needles and sweetness that turns into dryness and quite bitter. Easy, and nice to drink but still slippery. Absolutely great beer (if every lager would be like this...), that reminds me to Anchor Liberty Ale for every aspect, so this beer can’t be far away from the truth.

Amazing head retention, creamy yet rocky. The aroma boast some sensual dry hopping and hints of plums. Orange and grapefruit zest, plums, red apple, biscuity toasted honey wheat bread flavor. - Dangerously drinkable!
