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. 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

Draught @ Lord Nelson. Golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Light herbal and flowery aroma. Flavour has some spice, flowers, grass and a light sweetness. Quite smooth but a bit thin. Dry. Is light bitter in the end. Quite nice eventhough it’s not as intense, as I would like, but definately a decent thirstquencher.

Draught@Plan B. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is lovely hops along with some fruity, flowery and milldly grassy notes. Flavour is extreme hops, yet very drinkable and killing your thirst.

Orange with a low head. Salty aroma with some notes of flowers and orange. The flavour is surprisingly bitter for a wheat ale - cannot tell the difference between this and an American Pale ale. It’s pretty much all amarillo - but then again that’s not necessarily bad.

330 ml bottle. Pale golden color, white head. Hoppy aroma with citric notes. Bitter grapefruity flavor with a touch of caramel. Medium-light body, medium carbonation. Lots of flavor for the relatively low ABV -- can’t say I picked up on the wheat, though. Now if only the price were more reasonable...

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a small, bubbly head. Citric-grassy-hoppy aroma with salt and some pale maltiness. Quite bitter flavor with grassy pilsness, lemon, hints of wheaty sourness, and a dry, somewhat bitter finish. Surprisingly full body for the ABV, with balanced carbonation. A very nice - yet expensive - low-alcohol summer beer.
