Second bottle tonight from Cornelius. Second better than the first. Lovely amber pour with off white generous head that lingers. Then piney lemon and grapefruit on the nose. Fizzy tangerine moving through to lemon with a mellow boozy sharpness and sweetness all rolled into the end.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
33cl Bottle. Blind tasting of all 19 Mikkeller Hop Series beers.
Appearance: amber beer, stable white head.
Nose: fruity, little lemon, acidity.
Taste: lasting bitterness, peculiar aftertaste, can’t really describe it.
I recently had the Duvel Tripel Hop with the same hop, never thought that those beers had the same hops during the blind tasting...
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at home. Pours a cloudy amber colour with a medium light beige head. Herbal hoppy aroma with pine, slightly smokey and rich malt, some tropical fruits and dried peaches. The flavour is dominated by grassy hops with a touch of lemon, and ends pretty dry. Rich and smooth mouthfeel, with a lingering heavy bitterness. Both a tasteful and aromatic IPA, and the hops shines through it all. Balanced and nice
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Love the concept but think I got an old bottle with this one. Cloudy 24 karat pour with a 1/2 inch eggshell foam. Candied citrus, lemongrass and orange peel in the nose. Grapefruit pith, lemon zest, and leafy evergreen flavor. Solid amount of caramel, toffee, and honey indicating age. Medium mouthfeel. Still not bad.

Bottle, Stirchley Wines, Brum. Hazy orange pour with a generous white head. Fragrant nose of citrus and herby hop, Flavour was fruits, caramel, spice with a slight earthiness. Dry bitter finish. Ok, but not my favourite hop from their excellent saga. Think that’s what you call subtle labeling by the way....

2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Fra flaske på Humle i Annen mars-13: sjette av i alt 19 i serien, og denne luktet sylteagurk og dill. Smaker heldigvis bedre enn den lukter, men minner for mye om rå champignon til å bli en nytelse. IBU 102.

Nose is orange, white pepper, lactose, cooked pear. Taste is citrus, mandarin and lactose
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle (discounted) from Five Points Bottle Shop (Lumpkin St.) in Athens. Coconut, butter, yeast aromas. Clear, bright copper/brown color, filmy head. Very sweetish initial / coconut and strawberries in mid / finish is pleasant, with a lingering jam-like sweetness and mild bitterness. Thin-medium body. Okay. This one has held up better than some of the others in the series (sampled at the same time). The hops have maintained some integrity.
