Jul 13, 2008 16.9 oz bottle purchased at Spirits. Pours a hazy amber with a large bubbly off white head. Aroma off citrus hops, caremel, grain and a very slight touch of smoke. Great body that has just the right touch of carbonation and a bitter finish. Flavor of bread, citrus rind, slight caramel that is sweet but finishes bitter and dry.

Jul 11, 2008 Pours dark amber with a big off white head. Aroma of grapefruit and citris hops with a bit of malt coming through. Taste is pretty much the same with some hop juice in the pallete and a good hop bite in the end. I think I could grow to really like this one, but for some reason, its just not sitting with me right.
This is more toward dales pale ale then alpha king. Well made though.

Jul 9, 2008 500mL bottle. Once again, props to the design department for those labels. Pours a murky rust color with a huge tan head that leaves lots of lace. Prototypical APA aroma profile with plenty of floral hops in there. Medium to thin-bodied. Taste is juicy grapefruits, oranges and lemons. Hints of caramel maltiness and a light biscuitiness upfront, but it’s all about the hops - lots of grapefruits and pine with a bitter finish that lingers. Most likely the best APA I’ve had.

Jul 9, 2008 Drank out of the 500ml bottle so not sure on the appearance. Great nose, citrus, clean and refreshing. Could of been colder, and enjoyed on a hotter day and it would of been great. Some bitter hops on the finish give it some bite, though tried next to an IIPA it was a small flavored beer. Great nose and high drinkability. Not sure on the price but I believe the Mikkeller brews are on the high end. Will work thru more of the brews before I settle in and buy more than singles.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep dirty beige color ale with a large foamy off-white head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of bitter and lightly citrus hops is interesting. Taste is a refreshing mix between a nice caramel malt base with some well balance bitter and citrus hops. Full body with great carbonation. Really well balance and very refreshing – I wouldn’t mind having access to this beer year long.

Jul 8, 2008 Pours to a bright orange body with a tall super large bubbly milky foamy off-white head and awesome lacing. Some nice visible carbonation too. The aroma is extremely hoppy. Catty hops meets pine and grapefruit. The flavor is a nicely balanced grapefruit and catty hop with a great pale malt back. Subtle chalkiness from the hops. Hops are subtly bitter. Dry, medium body. If this was cheaper, I’d drink it fairly often.
