Commercial Description:
Brewed by Mikkeller at De Proef Brouwerij, Lochristi-Hijfte, Belgium.

Drink’in the Sun er navnet på den længe ventede sommerøl fra Mikkeller. Der er tale om en amerikansk hvede-øl der er brygget med ale-gær og, til alles store overraskelse, masser af humle. Humlen er Amarillo, alkoholprocenten er 3,9 og det fremgår af etiketten, at man med fordel kan bælle den direkte fra flasken. Nu mangler vi bare noget sol og en grill-fest

Bottle from Olbutikken. Realy nice aroma of citrusy hops, butter and some wheat. Very drinkabel so this cold Swedish november night wasn’t "the primary target" for this beer.

33cl bottle, local store. Pours clear, golden color with a lasting, large white head. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Flavor is also hoppy, with some hints of fruits. Bitter finish. Refreshing and very enjoyable.

0,33 l bottle, bought in Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Poured with a minimal opalescent in the golden body, small but stable and good looking white head what diminishes slowly , leaves some lace and never disappeares fully. Nice resiny hop aroma with a light lactic acid perfume, mild fruitiness. Bitter, hoppy character leads the flavor beside some mild acidity, easy fruity and pine tastes. In my opinion the hop is too much, but good brew.

A faint nose of American hops a a tad bready malts. Taste is very weak; grapefruit and cucumber. Finish is bitter. This was a bad bottle. I will rerate!

Aroma of citrus, fruit and hops. Appearance is yellow with small head, not a very good looking beer. Flavor is bitter with hints of pine and grass. Overall a good beer that’s not very complex. A plus for the low alcohol.

33cl bottle at The Coastguard, Kent. Drinking this against some of the single hop beers was tough on it, but I can see where it was going. Some cereal flavour, some good lemony citrus, bit of orange fruit on the hops. Very drinkable.
