Mikkeller Not Just Another Wit

Bottle. Golden- orange colour with a white head. Aroma is hop, citrus, orange. Flavour is hop, citrus, orange, coriander, yeast, spices. Full bodied nice beer

Bottle. Poured clear orange color with a medium frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate yeasty citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration with a small alcohol burn as it warmed. My expectations where met.

750ml bottle at a tasting. Nose if fruity hops and somewhat spicy. Taste is hoppy, very fruity and spicy.

750mL bottle. Poured healthy lighter golden with a thick, well-retained off-white head. The aroma picked up bright earthy and grassy hoppage as well as lemon zest over sweeter light fruits and a touch of toasty banana.. grains of paradise and cloves accented.. I dug it. The flavor opened with tart orange zest (grains of paradise and coriander this time), with pale and light bready malts settling onto the middle.. more tacky spices and lots of floral and citrusy bitterness on the finish.. OK stuff, but kind of sharp. Medium-plus bodied with moderate carbonation on the palate.. tangy, bitter, and engaging.. too heavy for it to be refreshing.

750mL bottle. Pours a hazy, medium tarnished-golden color; thin off-white head with decent lacing. Sweet, juicy apricots in the aroma, with honey and Belgian sugar; a bit of bananas and creme brulee; complex sweetness, a touch syrupy. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: avg carbonation; again, lots of chewy Belgian sugar and juicy fruitiness; a syrupy sweet core without blatant sugar; nicely dense, solid mineral bitterness throughout; honestly, just a bit much; dense, ok drinkability. Lengthy finish: lots of mineral bitterness, nicely toasty and dry.

750ml bottle, yellow gold colr, with a rocky white head, leaving some belgian laces, yeasty fruity, green apple skin, pineapple, mango, citrus lemon peel nose, with a nice coriander spicy, honeyed wheaty, pale malt accent, with some mild floral hop saaz, cascade oarngeish, peachy aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate, with a yeasty, fruity, pineapple, mango, wheaty, pale malt, oat cereal character with a good flowery hop, leafy, citrusy, zesty, lemony, faint peachy flavors, leading towards a warming, zesty, lemon peel, citrusy, lingering hop leafy bitterness finish.

750 ml bottle - pours hazy and glowing straw yellow with long lasting fluffy white head; orange, lemon, coriander, wheat and yeast; lovely nose; grainy, lemons and sweet flavors; soft texture with mildly sweet finish; coriander level is prefect

In short: A lot of floral hops in a big thick doughy yeasty wheaty brew of kind. Originally very interesting.
How: Bottle 750ml. Consumed fresh a few weeks after receiving it through private importation
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a medium white head
In long: The nose is something that I’d describe as pastry/bakery next to a bouquet of flowers. I like a full malted body but this one is more like a big yeast dough. Not unpleasant at all, just, you know, very thick. The beer is incredibly yeasty but with very little fruity esters. Taste is bready, doughy, floury, bakery, wheat. A whole lot of floral hops and light fruity notes of apricots and citrus lighten up the experience. This is a different beer. It was very different from any other so-called imperial-witbier I’ve had. I really liked it although I must admit that most of my enjoyment came from its uniqueness. A different beer and this time my closing line is Not Just Another Witty Comment.
