Mikkeller The American Dream

Mikkeller
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Pilsener
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Clear golden with a huge firn white head. Very very aromatic. Peach and grape with a touch of pine. The flavor is all about the bitterness, there isnt much of a body but the bitter flavors are nice. Fresh and enjoyable

Cloudy, orange-yellow beer with medium blond head.Very temptating aroma, lot of mangos and papaiyas, some pine forest and resin. Lot of fruits are found also in the flavour and it turns into more bitter and also some pine needles are found with dry end. Quite ligot ht to drink as supposed but it won’t bother to enjoy this beer. First aroma and taste is awesome and that feeling abate slighlty but still is great fruitfull beer.

Bottle@Konttori, Tampere. Golden colour, small white creamy and longlasting head. Aroma is fruity, floral and grassy hops along with some bready and caramelly notes. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balance. Interesting, but a bit boring.

(Bottle) Pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is rich hoppy with tones of juicy pink grapefruit, passion fruit, frozen strawberries, juicy apricot and pine. The malt profile is clean and slim with tones of fresh white bread. The flavour is light sweet/dry, medium biter and light acidic. Grapefruit and pine up front alongside undertones of strawberries and white bread. Maybe a burned whisper of ashtray. The mouthfeel is crisp yet quite round. This beer is super clean (almost perfect) my only problem with this beer is the burned hints. Slim malt and clean citric hops on the finish. Light to medium bodied. Sometimes I think less of Mikkeller - overly sweet Imp Stouts and mega bitter Pale Ales is not my vision of balance. Nonetheless, this is ass kicking!

Draught at Plan B, Copenhagen
Deep blond color. It has a nice sweaty and fruity aroma (grapefruit and passion fruit). Dry toffee flavor, strong bitterness, maybe harsh. Enjoyable.

It’s warm golden with a huge, creamy and lasting head. The aroma is very aromatic with notes of citrus, peach, kiwi and very light malt. The flavor has a light sweetness and an incredible, crisp freshness and notes of citrus, melon, peach, kiwi and very little malt. It’s a wonderful pilsner, lots and lots of flavor in few %.

(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm, 8 Dec 2009) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrussy hops, orange and grainy malt. Fruity, hoppy taste with grainy malt, orange, mandarin and a generous grapefruity, piney hop bitterness in a dry, well balanced finish. Medium body, dry. Brilliantly balanced. Very nice and tasty lager with a refreshing hop character and dryness.

A Mes rate. Bottle at Borefts 10am day after hotel tasting.
Clean darkish gold with a lasting white head. Big citric and tropical hoppage all round. Hardly any malt to detect. But it’s not a problem. Excellent dry bitter finish with some late spice. A really good pilsener.
