Mikkeller Draft Bear

Bottle. Pours a hazy orangish amber with huge rocky three-finger white puffy head that lingers for ages and leaves huge clumps of lacing on the way down. Aroma is big on hoppy lemon grass up front, but not overpoweringly hoppy with heavy bready malt smells in the background. Taste is similar to the smell with some citrus hops up front, mainly grapefruit tones. This gives way to the sweets malts and some spices before the grassy notes come back with a crisp, clean, and slightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and slightly astringent with good carbonation. This is a great example of a strong lager/pilsner.

C&C 750. Clear gold with a massive off white head that descends rockily. The label says Malt Liquor, which evokes images of paper bags and park benches. This is far from that! The nose is sweet grain drenched in citrus and grass. The flavor is bitter hop madness, citrusy and grassy with a light caramel tinge. IPA lovers should dig this, for sure. Very drinkable. Medium bodied and slightly slick, a touch of hotness in the finish Interesting stuff!

750ml Bottle @ The rover. Nice cloudy golden-yellow color with a nice big head. Really nice balance with lots of fresh hops and fruity notes.

Pours a fuzzy gold with a large white head. Nice light hoppy aroma. This is a pretty drinkable beer. Nice balance of hops and malts, I would try this beer again.
