4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Quite strong aroma of pine and peach. Flavour are much the same, but I think this is maybe the best balanced obe in the bop series to Mikkeller. Maybe the best one of them all
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Hazy orangeish amber colour with a mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is bready and caramel malts along with fruits, toffee and some slight herbal and hayish notes. Flavour is grassy, flora, mild fruityness along with some bready and caramel malts to it. Quite mouthdrying palate and a nice fresg grassy and floral aftertaste.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
big light beige head that stays long with foam head. clear dark amber colour. sweet, hop resin and sweet corn like aroma. very faint hop resin taste, sweet and fruity. doesn’t convince me as an IPA. bottle 33cl / notes from backlog
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Single hop IPA from Mikkeller. This pours a deep ruby colour with a fairly big soft head.
Quite a bit of sediment in the bottle.
Not too overpowering with hoppy flavour.
This is a nicely balance beer that could be drunk as a session beer. At 6.8% it would be messy.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Aroma of Wood and a bit of anis. Unclear amber colour with beige head. Nice dry and bitter finish but flavour is rather anonymous with just a tiny hint of grapefruit and anis.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle, served in Shaker. Pours amber with medium light beige head. Caramel and earthy notes on the nose, slightly floral. Nice balance between malts and hops, quite earthy and grassy as expected. Sweet dryness in the back. Medium mouthfeel, good carbonation. Easy to drink and refreshing.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear orange golden colour, white head. Malty aroma, hops, apple, light attic, bread and light grape notes. Bitter flavour, malts, soaked tea biscuit, light bitter grass. Malty finish, light hops, some apple.
OK brew, nice to see Tettnanger solo for a change, albeit the bottle was a bit old -for an IPA.
(From 33cL bottle shared @ WW II tasting, Amsterdam)
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Color: nice clear amber beer with medium carbonization and medium white head. Smell: hops, spices, grasses, red fruits, cherry, grapes. Taste: nice hops and small sour taste with cherry. Aftertaste: wet bitterness not so strong and not so complex.
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: lightly smoked, malt comes out nicely.
Taste: not completely balanced, a little to much sugar in my opinion.
