Angeloregon (1236), Portland, Oregon, USA May 11, 2008 From a bottle purchased at Belmont Station--Poured a bright orange body with a fluffy white head. Nice robust piquant and floral nose. Rich PNW IPA style. I really enjoyed this flavorful treat. mreusch (376), Olathe, Kansas, USA May 8, 2008 500ml bottle, with thanks to the bonus king, Tyler (tytoanderso)! Pours a bright gold-orange with a sizable frothy off-white head, good lacing. Aroma is full, with citrus, grapefruit and pine. Flavor has a nice hops bite, with more pine and citrus, balanced against caramel malts. A very crisp, refreshing and quaffable APA (IPA?) that would be nice to have around all summer. Well done again, Mikkeller, and thanks again Tyler! BigMilly8 (345), Holiday, Florida, USA May 8, 2008 From bottle : Pours a dark amber semi clear color, with a finger of white sticky head and lacing. Very nice hop aroma, with piney notes. Taste is just as good, nice hops, a slight hint of sweetness, then finishes with some bitterness. Aftertaste is piney hops, not overpowering though. Medium body and smooth as can be, really a well made APA for sure. Wanderer (33), Copenhagen, Denmark May 7, 2008 Pours a reddish/orange/amber with a very white head. Loads of grape and pine and dryhoppy aftertaste.
