Mikkeller All Others Pale

Pours a deep copper color with a thick dark off-white head. The dissapates some but leaves behind some real attractive lacing. Aromas of sweet citrus, earthy dirt, some sweet caramel, and other notes of sweet fruits as well. This beer is rather bitter throughout but there are some strong notes of earth and dirt. Some hay is rather noticeable as well. The malt doesnt seem to show itself very much, it kind of hides in the back.

Mondail 2009, Montreal. Copper orange with a ring of head. Nice lacing, though. Citrus hops in the aroma, along with sweet fruit and caramel. Lotsa c-hops in the flavour as well, again with some sweet fruit and thin caramel. The hops hit about midway through. Body is quite full for the style; the medium-to-low carbonation is very effective. Short bitter finish.

Pours a cloudy amber color with a thick, rocky offwhite head. Interesting aroma of fruity, resinous hops. Good flavor of fruity, resinous hops and malt. The body is light while the carbonation is soft. This is an interesting pale ale.

Bottled 50cl. Aroma: Malt, quince, fennel, liquorice allsorts, peach, a huge amount of mango, lychee, hop resin, sweat with some very slight spring onion (!) sneaking in which I associate with the usage of nugget hops- I found the same component in the Mikkeller Single Hop Warrior IPA. Appearance: Hazy dark copper with a nicely lasting medium sized light beige head. Some lacework. Flavor and palate: Rather nice. Almost too full bodied for the style. Good american hop profile which brings some bitterness. Decent, rather present malty back. Balanced. Some spring onion, raisin, sweat and tobacco sneaking in. The fennel characteristic is less present in the taste. Leafy. A tad salty. Dry biscuity finish which is reminiscent of licorice, crackers, hop resin and spring onion. Overall impression: Good. Too malty and full bodied in my opinion though. Almost like an American strong ale. Not a good example of the style but rather pleasant.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, golden body with a nice sized. A bouquet of floral hops on the nose. More hops on the tongue mixed with light notes of sweet malts. Overall, this a refreshing beer and an incredibly good American pale ale.

Bottle. Pours with a largish, off-white head over a hazed honey golden body. Aroma of honey, tea and prickly PNW hops. A touch of raisins and red apple skins in the background. Taste is a mix bag of light herbal and citrus hops, with a bit of tea and caramel thrown in. Might be a older bottle. While the hops aren’t papery, they are noticeably not there flavor wise. Medium to light bitterness. Extremely refreshing. Medium to full viscosity for an APA. Good!

Bottle. Pours a nice amber with a thin white head. Aroma is very hoppy with bready malts. Notes of grapefruit, floral hops, and other citrus fruits come through as well. On the palate, this beer is really balanced. A bit of yeast comes out in the flavor, but the floral hops really stand out. It finishes with a bitter bite comparable to an IPA. I really enjoyed this one.

Deep red color in the glass. Aroma is sublime - resiny hops, charred fruit and a nice biscuit thing. Taste is really clean and floral, with a trememndously well-balanced co-mingling of bitter grapefruit, some sweet fruit (cherry/peach) and a nice yeasty malt flavor cutting through with a nearly perfect balance of resiny/piney hops to finish. A textbook APA and, if not for the fairly high ticket price, would be a staple in my house.
