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. Clear golden coloured with a white head. Fruity aroma with lots of hops and pine needles. Hoppy flavour of pine needles with fruity notes. Dry hoppy finish. Lacks some complexity.

750ml bottle. pours slightly hazy golden with foamy white head. aroma is earthy and floral with biscuity malt backbone. flavors basically have spicy and earthy hop notes joining with a clean biscuity and caramel malt profile. pretty refreshing. the aroma was probably better a few months ago.

(On tap) Clear, deep golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fruity or perhaps rather floral aroma. Medium body with a solid base of pale pilsener malts and then a distinct, floral hopping. Very fresh and not harshly alcoholic as other beers of this style. 110507

Courtesy of Beerlando. Pours a lightly hazy orange, with a small white head. Smells of pretty profound hops, some light citrus fruit, with a small malt presence. The flavor is moreprominent in its malt character as they take the forefront. A little bit grainy, but not annoyingly so. The hops are also definitely noticeable and all seem to join pretty well together to make up this beer’s identity. Another solid offering from this brewery.

Orange/yellow with everlasting head... Very hoppy aroma and taste, maybe to much actually! Bit of malt, hay and corn-like taste... Good balance, but to hoppy when thinking about pilsner/lager...

btl by Springslicker. Sweet corn and malt on the nose. A golden pour with creamy white head and lace. A surprising bitter following a corn malt sweetness. A tad foamy and thin. A drinkable beer I was surprised to find that it was 8%. Could get tricky as easy as it is to drink.
