Mikkeller Movin´ Pilsner

Draught. Hazy light golden with a nice, longlasting head. Aroma of flowers, citrus and spices. Flavour of citrus, malt and a good, dry bitter finish. My favourite at the competion at Kbh. Øldage, but I really didn’t stray far away from the Mikkeller stand and tried a lot of the others, so I’m probably not the most competent judge.

Draught@Købehavnske Øldage. Hoppy nose, especially for a pils. I like it though. Flowery, grassy, fruity (apples?peach?) Mouthfeel is full and crisp, with some nice flowery hop bitterness in the finish. Nice.

[Another century is about to be turned - this time 6500, and again I celebrate it with a Mikkeller beer, and at the same time it is my Danish beer number 800] A quite carbonated beer, it gave a soundable fizz when opened and pours with a huge white head, underneath which is a slightly hazy pale orange beer. The aroma has powerful notes of hops with lots of different notes; dusty, flowery, citrusy, and more. The flavor is sweet with a crisp maltyness, which is soon forced in the back ground from the amassing hops, again with a huge diversity of flavors; fruits, flowers, grapefruit, and more, leading to a quite bitter yet very refreshing end. Inspite of the 6% ABV, I find the mouthfeel a bit thin.

(On bottle) Clear yellow, with a steady, white head. very aromatic; hay, apple and hops. Impressive that there actually is a hop-profile on a pilsner made on danish water. A little hefty mf. Massproduce, please.

So this is never a pilsener. But who gives a damn about whether it’s true to style. This is a lovely beer. No ’body’ whatsoever, but plenty of pine like hop aroma and a nice refreshing bitterness. Something along the lines of 55 BU. Nice.
