Mikkeller All Others Pale

Mikkeller
Brewed at Ørbæk Bryggeri
Style: American Pale Ale
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Amber beer with a big off white head that left sheets of sticky lace on the glass. Nice nose of tangerine peel, manderine oragnes and some pine notes. Definitely a hoppy beer, with grapefruit rind, hop resin, and pine needles. Sharp, fresh hop burn on the tongue, with a long finish of green hops thatend almost grassy. Pretty nice version of a big American pale ale.

Bottle and served in my GI IPA tulip: Coppery hue with a fading frothy head but left excellent lacework upon the glass. The aroma has notes of resiny, catty, citric, and herbal hops with some notes of bready malt, some rye twang, earthy yeast esters, and a hint of clove and grains of paradise. The taste is hop driven with a snappy resin and piney tone chased by a light grapefruit note. The malt is a background player here provide a touch of balance. The finish is sharp and hop spicy with some leafy and astringent character. Quite refreshing till the aftertaste where it is a tad chalky and medicinal. Overall I nice brew that could easily pass for an common American IPA.

Pours a fairly clear copper. The aroma is nicely hoppy, but the flavor is really more malty (nicely toasty) than hoppy. This is a pretty darn tasty APA.

Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. My beer of the day. Gold with slight haze, thin beige head. God that is such a good aroma. The peppery grapefruit. The fruit is just lovely. Jellied grapefruit. Then in the mouth is juicy malt and lovely hops which go on and on. Lovely and definitely beer of the day.

bottle, thanks to zeswaft. this was actually pretty similar to the amnesiac DIPA i had right before it. probably a little better balanced, more malt, overall a good amount more palatable as well. nothing particularly noteworthy.

Bottled. Orange/amber coloured. Unclear. Huge off white head. Fruity and flowery aroma with a citric and piney touch. Flavour as well is floral and citric. Has some fruity notes. Is quite thin bodied. Very dry. Floral medium bitterness in the ned. Quite refreshing and crisp.

Very good pale, very floral fruity hops, apricot and citrus, crisp and dry finish. Finish was bitter, but not sharp, more of the floralness of the hops leaves the finish refreshing and a touch tangy from the grapefruit and citrus hops.
