COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer is a part of a Single Hop IPA series by Mikkeller. We created this series to showcase hop varieties on their own. This gives the consumer the possibility of smelling and tasting the unique characteristics of each variety and hopefully helping to educate people about the wonderful world of hops. For each beer, the single hop variety was used in the same weight for bittering, aroma and flavor and for dry hopping. All 19 varieties of single hop beers in this series were brewed the same week and with malts from the same batches and the same yeast and fermentation temperatures. This is done to better compare the characteristics of the different hop varieties.

Hazy amber color; medium sized creamy head. The aroma, although not too strong, is very pungent, with citrusy fruits, cedar, passion fruit; very satisfying. The dry toffee flavor is almost completely hidden by the hop here (and this is not a bad thing); still, the toffee flavour could be cleaner… The hop carries a god mix of fruits and resins, aggressive in a good way; there is some bitter orange, cedar and passion fruit. Long final. Excellent.

Palme (2252) - Bergen, NORWAY - FEB 1, 2012
0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This one pours a heavy clouded orangish body. It also has a nice big and quite lasting almost creamy off-white head. Nice fruity and hoppy aroma. Pine cones and some caramel. Much the same in the flavor: Piny with sweet caramel before it ends in a nice lasting hoppy and bitter - almost soapy bitter aftertaste. Nice stuff. I quite liked it.

beerguy101 (5206) - Newark, California, USA - JAN 27, 2012
Sampled on 1/21/2012. This IPA pours a slightly cloudy orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, with decent retention and nice lacing. The aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet, floral and earthy hops. A medium bodied India Pale Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, touch of tropical fruit and mangos. The hops are floral and earthy, slightly spicy. Decent carbonation. Medium Bitterness IPA, which last throughout the taste. There is a touch of sweetness at the finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly to medium bitter.

Kriegbaum (837) - Randers, DENMARK - JAN 26, 2012
Bottle 33 cl. Dark amber with an orange glow and a big creamy and form of head of good duration. Sødlog aroma of malt, grapefruit and exotic fruit. The flavor contains intense notes of grapefruit, in addition to sweetness in the direction of caramel and exotic fruit. Moderately bitter in taste, with a long finish where grapefruit is the dominant factor
