3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Wine and Cheese Place shared among a group of five locals. Pours a clear orange-copper color with a small off-white head that leaves a bit of lace- all 19 looked like this. Aroma of dry grains and some dry and grassy hops. Flavor of light citrus, tea, and bitter hops that linger. Light-bodied, bitter, and dry. Something in this hop seemed to dry and wipe out some of the potential character. One of the weakest in the seires.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle @ home. Hazy medium to dark orange color, big dense white to off-white head. Smell hops, malts, herbs and grapefruit. Taste malts, hops, citrus, grapefruit-bitter. Different from the other beers from this series by Mikkeller because of the herbs in the aroma. At least that’s what I get. Taste is very nice again: some fruityness, pretty bitter. Medium carbo, medium body.

Bottle, kindly shared by Skinnyviking at Rune’s hotel-room tasting in Kbh. A finger of dense off-white head, over a medium full, clear reddish-amber body. A mild, pleasant smell of exotic fruits and a light spicyness. Clean, light to medium strong bitterness. Earthy and light fruity hop flavor.

sample at Blue Monk, Buffalo. orange copper pour, floral fruitiness, amber beer maltiness, caramel malts. Bitterness was not overwhelming but a contributer hop here. Enjoyed the simplicity of the hop & overall a nice flavorful beer

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orange to amber colour, large to moderate head, slightly off-white. The aroma is floral and honeyish, no sign of the feared catpiss notes. The flavour has some resinous notes, and is fairly bitter. Some malty sweetness too.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz. bottle, pours a murky brownish orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma of spicy hops, butterscotch, and cracker malt - the spice is definitely prominent on these cluster hops. Flavour is more muted, with a slight metallic tone dulling the spiciness of the hops, no detection of the butterscotch, backed by lots of crackery malts. Sort a wet earthy quality to it too. Either this is not the most interesting IPA recipe, or the hop is kind of boring. Nevertheless, a solid thirst-quenching IPA, but lacks anything memorable or palate-tantalizing.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an orange color with a large white head. The aroma is full of fruit. I get a lot of apricots, peaches and oranges. The flavor is more of the same. There are a lot of peaches and oranges, as well as some biscuit and toffee malt. Low bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
