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.

a solid tasting beer, with many flavors. the flavor is crisp malts and the hops give a floral and slight piny like taste. The mouthfeel gives a nice heavy palate. a great beer.

[75 cl corked bottle] Hazy amber colour. Big frothy head. Fruity apricot-and-orange hop aroma. Flavour is all about hops; a bitter, hoppy flavour that lasts "forever". Dangerously drinkable; I finished that big bottle in no time then wished I had another one.

750 ml bottle shared by cdog69. Pours golden hinting towards orange or amber. Very floral nose, with a little bit of pilsner graininess. Very hoppy, yummy pilsnery flavor. Not over done like most of the beers that call themselves Imperial Pils. I could drink this beer all the time, and be refreshed. Medium body with high carbonation. Fairly dry finish. Very bitter. I like this.
