| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 5, 2009 Another Mikkeller beer drunk to celebrate a century, this time my rating number 12,800. I’ve had this several times both bottled and draft. A slightly hazy amber beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is very sweet with strong spicy notes of hops, lending it notes of cinnamon and ginger as well as fruity notes of grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of hops lending it notes of cinnamon, lime, pine needles, and other spices, leading to a bitter finish. Very refreshing. I just love the Nelson Sauvin hop.

Very spicy, fresh and berry-like nose. Medium body, light fruit notes and then again this fresh and berry-like hopping that leaves an almost smooth bitterness. Very interesting. 170509 yespr (12345), Copenhagen O, Denmark
