| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 14, 2007 Bottle - Hazy orange body with a slight red shine, creamy yellowish head; Quite small nose, it is actually very small, what there is is pleasant fresh with lemon, soft peach and sharp pine; Soft textured body with very soft full carbonation, very little feel and character, balanced to the bitter side; The beer grows in the finish which is quite bitter dry, actually to bitter dry compared to the rest of the beers elements, lots of simple hop aromas with a little grapefruit peel and peach shining trough. For sure not my favorite Mikkeller, maybe actually my least favorite.
