Commercial Description:
This Special Ale is, in reality, a reconstructed exhumation of the very first ale that we ever brewed way, way back, in 1993. Brewed with a big head, a muscular malty thorax, a silky texture & all strung together with a hoppy sweet nerve sack... yum. O.G. 1.072 84.2 IBU

Bottle. Smalle but creamy and interesting looking and long lasting head, leaving nice curtains on the glass. Baautivul clear red brown body, Hops dominated relatively bitter aroma. Mild fruity and hoppy flavor which is not all too sharp. Low carbornation and a long bitter aftertaste. Simple but good.

Bottle, bought @ Řlbaren, Cph. Pours a deep red with a small film head. Aroma has lots of American hoppiness as well as a light fruity edge and weak pine notes. Light caramel peeps through as well. Nice mouthfeel with lots of dryness. Great flavour, sweet caramel at first, then biscuit and maltiness before ending on a powerful dry hoppy note. Nice.

Bottle. Courtesy of Bierkönig. [Amager – Mikkeller Brew session @ Amager Bryghus] Average fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Somewhat clear golden – amber color. Aroma of pineapple, apricot, peach, caramel, fruit. Over the palate citrus, grapefruit. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated bitter flavor with good counter sweetness. Dry and bitter finish that lingers.
