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

Pours cloudy gold with a white frothy head. Aroma is light and grassy with some hoppy zest. Taste is clean and a touch sweet, with predominant smoke and a little barnyard funk. Smokiness lends an interesting aspect to this style.

This an interesting and refreshing Pilsner. Pours cloudy gold with a thick white head. Aroma of grass hops and slightly sweet. Flavor actually have some smoke to it, which was unexpected. Slightly bitter, decent hop profile. Good beer though, enjoyable.

20091208 33cl bottle from State Line. Hazed honey golden color with small lingering white head. Beautiful aroma with fresh grassy hops, tons of doughy yeast, cut lumber. Even, aggressive carbonation. Flavor is lightly smoky, surprisingly, with herbal, grassy hops across the middle and finishing briskly bitter. Some unusual but not unpleasant waxy flavor, maybe that’s the yeast because it seems to smooth into a long lingering breadiness. Really nice beer, but I can’t imagine dropping the six bucks or whatever this was on any kind of regular basis as long as I have easy access to fresh Prima Pils.

Bottle, BB 4/29/2011. Poured straw golden with a well-retained cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweet bready malts and honey with fresh floral and catty hop accents.. some sort of darker character that I couldn’t quite place (almost like a blend of honeysuckle, lemon pepper, and corn syrup, but better than I just made it sound).. hoppy for the style, and I really dug it. The flavor found more of the same.. honey and bready sweetness at the core (along with the stuff I couldn’t place from the nose), surrounded by fresh floral, earth, and catty bitterness.. sticky-sweet on the finish with ample bitterness. Light-bodied, but with a thicker feel than you’d expect.. I enjoyed this.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Powerfull heavy hoppy and moderate malty aroma. Strong grassy notes. Heavy bitter wonderfull flavor. Long nice heavy bitter finish. Oily palate. Really nice well balanced beer.

Sampled on 10/23/2009. This Bohemian Pilsner pours a hazy medium yellow color from a 33cl bottle. Medium to large sized rocky foamy head. The aroma is grassy, spicy and grainy. A medium bodied Bohemian Pilsner. The malts are grassy and grainy. The hops are spicy and herbal. Lots of small carbonation bubbles. A nice crisp and clean pilsner. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Pours hazy golden, big white head. Aroma is grassy, earthen. Flavour is full, good bitterness with earthy hops and an intrigueing smokiness. Very good pilsener, just a bit pricey at this end of the world.

Yellow colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized white head. Rich grass aroma with even some leathery manure notes, lemon also comes up. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is even more hopped with lemon also, same leather and thin manure lasts in aftertaste. Lots of hops here, bitterness lasts.
