ABUSEDGOAT (1924), California, USA May 4, 2008 Amber color, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is spicy hops with some grapefruit and citrus. Medium bodied, high bitterness for the style. Big citric, spicy hop kick.
raiderfost (157), virginia beach, Virginia, USA Oct 15, 2008 Thanks Luda! First mikkeller ive ever had and id have to say, the best regular IPA that ive had. Very well done. Cant wait to try the black scoth (23), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear golden, with a medium long-lasting soapy beige head. Smells like pine and hay. Crisp and medium bodied. Nicely bitter upfront, tastes of pine resin, with sublte malt, balanced, has an interesting slightly wheat flavor, dry finish.

Apparence: La couleur est ambrée voilée avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de résineux avec une pointe de pamplemousse. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence d’agrumes en arrière goût. (Rating #1979) adm (5), Alfold Crossways, Surrey, England does not count Oct 4, 2008 Updated: Oct 13, 2008Aroma is resinous, gum and retsina - definite green hop versus many Mikkeler citrussy blasts. Appearance is great - clear dark amber colour, nice lacing. Great head, but little staying power. Nice balance of astringent hops and underlying sweetness on the palate with a clean, fresh lingering aftertaste.
Very good.
