Drunk to celebrate my rating number 9800. A slighltly hazy amber beer with a medium light tan head. The aroma is lovely hoppy with notes of grass and grapefruit, with underlying notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet - but right from the beginning the body seems thin - my guess is that the final gravity is quite low - I’d have liked a bit stronger body - afterall the beer rings in at 6% ABV. After the thin body, the very dry finish is noticed next - the finish is also very bitter - which is nice and refreshing. And finally when You’ve grasped the relative thinness and the enormous bitterness, then You pick up notes of grapefruit peal, fresh cut grass, and lemon, on a subdued background of malt and caramel. There is very little sweetness to balance the harsh bitterness. Good - drinkable and OK refreshing for a hop head like me - but I know Mikkeller beers I’d rather drink all night.

Draught at Plan B
Beautiful hazy amber color. Wonderful hoppy aroma, fruity and grassy. Medium body, with strong caramel flavor and toffee, and very strong hopping. The final is drier, the hop aftertaste is a bit fruity and oily, very good. Deeply pleasant.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Mikkeller. Very hazy, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fantastic fresh aroma of peach and citrus. Medium body with very dry caramel accents and a dry bitterness. Very fresh and drinkable indeed - and the closest Mikkeller has come to a session beer so far... 120107

[Draught @ Ølbaren] Hazy amber with medum white head. Fresh aroma with loads of hops. Somewhat sweet caramel flavor with hoppy notes. Ends dry and bitter.

Draught. Amber. Golden with a good glow. Ripe junglefruit aroma. Fresh hops - with a nice discret maly background to prevent it to lose balance. (Tasted at the "BASMOF Nytårskur 07/08 12-01-2008)

All Others pale 6% and my # 2200 rating. Bottle. Courtesy of Mikkeller [Amager – Mikkeller Brew session @ Amager Bryghus] Large thick and creamy head that really lasted. Beautiful appearance I must say with somewhat cloudy golden colour with an orange glow. Excellent lacework. Very exceptional nose of passion fruit, pineapple, sweet grape, apricot, citrus, sweet flower like never before. Some underlying malty notes and fruit. Texture was impressive smooth as silk. Very full bodied with an average to lively carbonation with a very dry texture. Dry and slightly bitter floral finish that lingers forever. Well done Mikkel. 9 / 5 / 8 / 4 / 16 = 4.2

Draught at Plan B. A amber beer with a big white head. The aroma is great and hoppy, Peach, grape, pine. The taste is of caramel malt, fruits, peach, grape and pine. Medium body with a quit dry finish. Very drinkable and plesant pale Ale.

Draught. Pours a pale amber-orange colour with a short but well lasting white head. Very ripe fruity hoppy aroma with mango and pine. Good mouthfeel. Very nice fresh fruity dry flavour with mango, peach, pine and a very good bitter hoppiness. Long lasting bitter and dry fruity hoppy finish. Great brew!

Draught at Lord Nelson. Cloudy orange red coloured with a white head. The aroma is dominated by pine needles with notes of fruits, hops, yeast and cardemomme. Hoppy flavour of fruits, grape fruits, pine needles and grass. Dry hoppy finish.

From tap at Lord Nelson and served in a Mikkeller glass. Pours slight hazy orange and with head (poured to the top). Soft peach fruity aroma. Way too cold served. Flavour is, not unexpected, heavy heavy hoppy with a solid fruity flavour of peach, grapefruit and pine. Bitter and fruity lingering finish, quite dry. Very very delicious. But to be honest, half pint is fantastic, full pint is cloying, brutal and somewhat just too much hops. Interestingly this tastes like a pale ale, just with an overdose of US hops.
