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 Tbone, thanks! Blonde. Citrus and some oily hops in the aroma. Thin, but very tasty. Oily citric earthy hops dominate. Very refreshing top quality ale with a firm citric hopbitter aftertaste.

Tap at Lord Nelson, Copenhagen, June 2009. Golden color, ok white head. Aroma is floral and citric hops. Flavor is the same, with dry, fine bitterness in the finish. Light and refreshing.

It is slightly hazy, warm golden with a creamy and very firm and lasting head. The aroma has a lot of fruity hops and citrus, that leaves almost no room for the wheat. The flavour is very hoppy too with notes of dry citrus, fruit a light bitterness and a soft feeling from the wheat. It is very refreshing, quenching and delicious, and I’m always in awe when I meet a beer with a low ABV and a LOT of flavour. The only minus is that I would have liked a little more room for the wheat flavour.

Bottled. Slightly hazy golden, staying frothy white head. Good clean amarillo aroma, citric fruits, little pine and white pepper, sweet grapefruit and pineapple in there too. Flavor has similar hop profile, loads of grapefruit, malts are totally secondary. Nicely long and crisp bitter finish. Light bodied, not too watery thou, refreshing strongish carbonation. Very drinkable session beer, if it was a tad cheaper I’d be drinking this like water.

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and heavy amarillo hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Strange watery/oily palate. Nice but strange brew.

Gorgeous straw with fine non-homogenous foam. Fabulous aroma due to the amarillo hop. Grassy. I apparently love it! Not top grade simply because it is not very complex. Too bitter for my taste. Fresh tingling, watery, sharp. Great for summer, but a bit on the bitter side. This wears off when you’ve had a few, though. Purchased 5 for 100dkr in Kihoskh
