Oct 25, 2008 16.9oz bottle. Pours a light golden amber with a white head and some nice lacing. Aromas of fresh hops, resin, pine and some grapefruit citrus and toasted malts. Flavors are spot on as the aromas, toasted malts, fresh bitter hops, and some citrus notes. This is a fantastically big balanced pale ale. Mikkeller strikes again.

Oct 23, 2008 Pours lovely golden amber color with medium head. Aroma is floral and earthy with some light fruit notes. Flavor is light and refreshing, with grapefruit bitterness, floral and herbal notes, and a fairly timid caramel malt backbone. Really nice for a change, though the flavor is slightly thin.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden with a medium white head. Nice malt, floral, and grapefruit hops and aroma. Goes down smooth. Not an amazing amount of hops and not a hop bomb by any means, but a smooth well balanced pale ale. Good brew.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle branded Vibskov Eminius. Deep red amber with a healthy head. Very interesting hop aroma: herbal, pine, vegetables, you name it. Good malty base for fresh hops that still manage to impart quite a bit of bitterness. Almost like a fresh hop salad. This really is different. Mikkeller shows that they can do wonders at 6% ABV- which is definitely more impressive than their 16%-17% heavyweights.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear golden, with a medium long-lasting soapy beige head. Smells like pine and hay. Crisp and medium bodied. Nicely bitter upfront, tastes of pine resin, with sublte malt, balanced, has an interesting slightly wheat flavor, dry finish.

Oct 4, 2008 Updated: Oct 13, 2008Aroma is resinous, gum and retsina - definite green hop versus many Mikkeler citrussy blasts. Appearance is great - clear dark amber colour, nice lacing. Great head, but little staying power. Nice balance of astringent hops and underlying sweetness on the palate with a clean, fresh lingering aftertaste.
Very good.
