Draft. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, Simcoe hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, and Simcoe hops, leading to a bitter finish.

From tap at MikkellerBar. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Dense cat pie simcoe hops. Peachy and citrusy to grapefruity hoppy. Sweet and fruity over the tongue. Solid bitter to overly so into the finish. Herbal hoppy dry into the far finish.

On tap. Pours a cloudy deep amber with a frothy and lacing beige head. Amazing hop aroma, sweet and rich peaches. Solid body, carbonation is a little low, very fruity and caramellish with the Simcoe getting a little greasy. Still amazingly peacy and fresh. The bitterness is surprisingly subdued - buried underneath the fruity sugars. 060511

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen. Cloudy amber, small head. Perfumy lychee/grapefruit/peach aroma. Mid sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Sweaty tropical fruit hops acts like a bulldoer, killing every subtlety that could possibly be there. Finishes with massive bitterness. A beer that manages to stand out AFTER a full session at a Copenhagen beer festival...

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Cloudy dark amber color; small head. The aroma is an explosion of fruits (apricots, mango, tangerine, plums and more), with a cheesy component (mind: cheese rind, mold, cheese cellar). The body is well constructed and round; there is a strong flavor of toffee, enough residual sweetness, hop fruitiness, but also some cheese that here is less desirable (melted cheese); expected hop resins, and bitter oranges. In the final also the alcohol is perceived, but just as mouth warmer. So in the end it’s quite chaotic, but still a powerful brew, and a good one.

Draught at Mikkeller BAR. Clear deep red/amber - white head. High simcoe. Oiley. Fruity. Caramel. High hoppy. Roasted notes. Toasted. High fruity hoppy. Nice bitter finish.
