Mikkeller

Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Copenhagen V, Denmark

11.2oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellars. Pours cloudy amber with a medium sized, creamy white head and good lace. Smells musty and pungent with a bot of floral hops. Tastes sweet and fruity hoppy, pungent and earthy as well. A little too musty for my liking. Medium body, vibrant carbonation.

A clear amber colored beer, with a thich foamy beige head. The aroma of hop bitter with fruits and vegetables. The taste is little sweet, with hop bitter and flavors of vegetables. The aftertaste of bitter hops and some spices.

33 cl bottle in Denmark. Hazy amber color, big off-white head. Aroma orange and spices - typical Nelson Sauvin. Flavor is malty and very hoppy; orange, spice. Very fine and nice bitterness in the finish.

big juicy flavor- guava, passion fruit, tropical stuff, yes. body a bit thin was its only drawback. is this better than alpine nelson? must drink more

Bottle. Pale yellow, a bit cloudy liquid with a rather large, white head. Aroma is a bit sweet and fruity with some fresh notes, but it also reminds quite a lot of a dirty urinal. Taste is sweet and sour in a weird way, with some fruitiness but mostly chemical notes of urin and detergent. This is not very good...

Pours rich orange/amber with a huge head. Classic nelson sauvin passion-fruit and peach on the nose with some pineapple thrown in as well. Also present is some lovely caramel malt and light peppery phenols. Taste is dominated by a strong green hoppy bitterness - a little overwhelming at first. Soon enough the malt starts shining through along with lots of sweet passion fruit and peach. The alcohol also shines through, but is somewhat solventy. Body is lacking, almost watery. The key factor that let this down was the solventy finish, otherwise this was great.

Bottle from Pizza Port bottle shop: Created a huge soufflé like pillow of foam while the liquid was a burnt orange hue. In the nose, is an over the top presence of hops and graceful reminders of grapefruit, almost as if I were walking in the middle of a citrus tree grove. The flavor, however, isn’t as juicy as the aroma had leaded me to believe and was actually quite strong of malts. Finishes dry with the aftertaste being a very metallic ending.

Amber coloured with a huge off-white head leaving amazing lazings behind. Aroma is perfumey bright hops with tropical fruit notes. Flavour is sharp perfumey with light tropical fruit notes, De Proefs "house character" malt base with subtile caramell burried underneath yeast and hops. Finishes mellow bitter with a short aftertaste. Drinkable.
