Mikkeller All Others Pale

Bottle 0,33l. Golden colored. A large tanned creamy head lasting for a while. Strong aroma of lemon. Complex flavor of lemon, oranges and grapefruit. A dry bitter aftertaste. Another impressing beer from Mikkeller.

Rich sweet hoppy aroma. Slight ambered orange color with a dissipating head. Good strong punch of hops on the initial taste. Not overly heavy and a well carbonated bite. Bitter finish and duration. Light grapefruit, some light sweet notes. Slightly dry. Palate is light but the flavor still lingers.

Pours clear amber with a large white head. Great hop aroma with grass and pine notes; same flavor with bitterness. A great APA!

Aroma:pine hops,grapefruit,grassy hops... Appearance:clear cooper good head... Flavor:good bitternees,pine hops,grapefruit and grasy hops.....

My Bottom Line:
This ravenous American-style Pale Ale’s perfumey flowery and piney hoppiness opens the way for a portentous earthy and coniferous bitterness, a finish only hopheads can thoroughly enjoy.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A bobbing tower of foam tops the nearly translucent fiery amber.
-For some reason, I had gotten decent caramel whiffs upon uncapping, but they were much quieter once the pint had been poured. This is a nearly all hop affair, so don’t look for balance here!
-The frothy carbonation kind of gets in the way early on, but some breathing does it a world of good.
-The hop profile is a tad soapy at times (mostly in the finish).
-Residual sugars are quite low.

Bottle. Pours a clear coper with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine , and grassy hops with sweet malt and a touch of caramel. Tastes is the same as aroma with a emphasis on the hops. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness. Very good.

500 ml bottle: poured cloudy orange with a thick light tan head. Very robust scent of citrusy, piney hops. Very pale ale-ish. And very nice. Flavor is mostly piney hops, citrus, little malt, and little sweetness. Quite dry. A bit too dry for my taste but still a very nice, satisfying beer.

Pours amber with a soapy tan head. The aroma has green floral hops, pineapple, tropical fruits, light caramel malt and a bit of butter. Medium body that is lightly biting with some light sharp carbonation. The flavor begins a bit sweet with the malt and then grassy and spicy with the hops and there is also a bit of resin. The finish is fairly dry, earthy, piny and bitter. It is good, but not great enough to claim "all others pale".
