Mikkeller Tjekket Pilsner

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

cloudy gold under a medium sized creamy white head. a bit of lemon in aroma with wheaties. flavor has some musty notes with pepper or chilies. grassy lemony hops. sharply carbonated with a light body. not sure what i think of this one. very different.

Yellow color with a large head. Light floral hop and perfume aroma. A bit grainy. Oddly smokey and medicinal taste. Sweet grain and some corn that I would expect from an American pale lager. Not as hoppy as I would have imagined. Still good.

Tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival 09. Clear yellow color, short head. Soft hop aroma, bit grainy. Slight crisp, bit carbonation. Some bitterness. Ok, well brewed.

Draught at Ørsted, Copenhagen
Hazy blond color, small head. The aroma is lightly fruity, and very little traces of hops. The flavor is more interesting, maybe missing a better crispy malt character, but the hopping is worth the glass, even if not impressive as some real Bohemian Pilsner; bold bitterness, with a lot of hop oils, not much Saaz traces, instead a light smoke trace. Powerful and pleasant.

A bottle 0.33L from local K-Market. Mild nose. Pale lace forming head. Slightly hazy pale yellow colour. Grassy soft taste at beginning. At the end hoppy bitterness. Fresh and fruity with some grapefruit.

A cloudy orangeish yellow color with rocky white head. A thick malty body with a very strong bitter character. A very dry aftertaste. Flowery haops and faint malts.

Golden yellow beer. Nice fluffy head, that even after a few minutes of sitting has not gone away. Looks very nice! Slight honey aroma. Nice subtle sweet aroma that hits the nose, but not in that PUNGENT way I was expecting. Slight pilsner aroma as well. This aroma is just not pungent enough for me, but it still has some good qualities. A weird and yet unexpected flavor. Not really my cup of tea. Very grassy and dry. Medicinal taste as well. I don’t know what happened to the flavor, and now I know why it got that low score. Just too damn dry for me. There is a nice bittering hop, but the dryness just cancels some of the good qualities out. That bittering hop does linger which is good, but still the off flavors are just ruining this experience for me. Not what I expected, and I am surprised at Mikkeller on this one. 11.2 oz at Greens on Ponce De Leon
