| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 16, 2007 Bottle. High white and fluffy but lasting head. Hazy goldn body. Lovely hoppy and fruity aroma (mainly oranges but also a bit of nuts). Flavor of hops, pretty hoppy acutally, compared to normal strong lagers this is GOOD. Alcohol percentage well hidden by the bitterness. Long dry and bitter aftertaste. Only 2 changes wanted:
Lower the price.
Brew in 33 cl bottles as well

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 12, 2009 750mL bottle, BB 12/13/09. Poured clear, brighter orangey-golden with a creamy and sticky white head. The aroma picked up significant doses of catty and floral hoppage over juicy lighter fruits and caramel malts. The flavor was also led by the hop blast, showcasing pine, citrus, and floral character.. juicy overall, and it carried well through the finish.. honey and bready malts supported well.. tasty. Medium-plus bodied with great balance throughout.. dry and a bit grainier on the back.. very drinkable! God help me if I ever find this on cask. Sammy (4028), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Not a bad Mikkeller at all, if such a thing is possible. A good hoppiness that got me through perhaps 400 ml. and then I could take no more. Its fairly one dimensional, a lager and even bit of malt liquor taste in there behind a good hoppiness. Maybe a different day. Found at Premiere Gourmet.Light coloured body.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 10, 2008 Bottle (750ml corked and caged). No ClowGr’s tasting, shared with blankboy, jerc, mabel and tupalev, My bottle, ’cause we can’t finish the night on friggin’ Blue De-Alcoholised Pilsener. BB Dec 13/09. Steady, now - the urge to rate this about 4.5 is very strong. Hazy light orange-amber, large lasting mottled beige/off-white head. The aroma - yes, alcohol, yes grassiness, but I’m getting some solid pine/citrus zest hops in there, and an odd fruitiness that really appeals. Taste - grassy, boozy, crisp and dry, sharply bitter and a long, long finish - we need more GOOD examples of this style (on the bottle is says "malt liquor"). Crisp, light, alcoholic, astringent to the nth - big and grassy, and well-made and thank you guys for helping me drink 750ml of this big bugger.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 24, 2009 Sampled on 5/22/2009. This European Strong Lager pours a medium orange gold color from a corked and caged 750ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head, with good retention. The aroma is cereal, floral hops and malts. A medium to full bodied European Strong Lager. The malts are cereal and bready, a touch sweet. The hops are very aggressive, with lots of grapefruity and floral hops. Nice carbonation. Kind of pilsnerish, but it is way too big and hoppy for a pilsner. Very tasty beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry with a touch of sweetness. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. jerc (3945), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Golden amber body with a good sized white head that fades (3+ Moderately hoppy aroma, modest resin and ephemeral citrus notes. Pleasant bitterness up front tin the flavour picks up a slowly building alcoholic hitch hiker that is a touch distracting, but not as prominent as it could have been. Pleasant lingering hops have pleasant resin and ambiguous citrus notes. Average plus palate. (3+) Pretty decent. Bottle shared by HogTownHarry
