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.

Draught @ Brewpub København. Pours a slightly pale deep golden colour with a small steady creamy white head leaving a good lacing. Aroma of fresh ripe fruits, pine, flowers and a good soft sweetness. Good mouthfeel. Dry hoppy and fruity flavour with a soft sweetness. Long lasting quite dry hoppy finish. Great brew!

750 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear amber/orange colour with small off-white head. Fruity bitter hoppy aroma. Lots of maltiness and bitter hoppiness in flavour. Some yeast and alcohol warmth. Is this really Strong Lager? If so, very good.

Bottle shared by plovmand. Pours yellow/blond with a off white head. Aroma is fruits, hops, honney and peach. Flavour is fruity - apricot, peach and hops. It has a weak bitterness in the aftertaste and a good balance. Easy drinkable.

Bottle @ Hashigo Zake tasting. Golden with deacent white head. Sweet honey and hop aroma, with quite a high alcoholic tinge. Dry hop characters with no astringency and sligh caramel sweetnessto balance it out. Very smooth on the palate.

More gratitude to the STL guys for sharing another choice beer. Pours golden / amber with a light off-white head. The aroma has lots of pils malt, grassy hops, cream, smoothness, some sugariness, light onions and grapefruit. Medium crisp body with normal pils style carbonation. The flavor starts more pils-like than most of these impy pils beers. It is grassy with lightly sweet pale malt ans spicy. The finish remain grassy and is very clean. Nice beer.
