Draft. A hazy dark red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes eggs, hops, limes, and vitamins. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, flowers, malt, limes, and a bit of alcohol showing up in the finish, leading to a very bitter finish.

From tap at MikkellerBar. Pours hazy orange with a small off white and slowly diminishing head. Aroma is light herbal and citrusy to orange fruity. Mild herbal, spiced and light orange fruity. Bitter and light herbal finish.

On tap. Hazy amber with an off-white head. Weird skunky aroma - there’s some cats pee here AND fried onions and rubberbands. Medium-bodied with a light fruit sweetness, a vague whiff of peaches and then again these notes of pee and fart. The finish is dry but not overly bitter. Not really a hop that is easy to appreciate. 261011

Bottled (thanks Papsoe!). Slightly hazy amber colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is burnt rubber, some slight cloakwater and mild herbal notes. Flavour is rather similar, has some slight catpee in the background. Hmm, not good. I will rather enjoy the aroma of a rotten eggfart than this beer. Atleast rotten eggfarts are funny. This beer is not.

Draught at Mikkeller Bar. Hazy orange-red coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Fruity aroma of hops and pine needles. Fruity flavour of hops and grass with notes of citrus. Hoppy finish.

Parallel with Single Hop Summit
Hazy amber color with generous compact head. The aroma is meaty, roasted ham (not smoke), with a light herbal and minty touch, also iced apples (Ice Cider) and light sweat. It has the classic Mikkeller caramel and dry toffee flavor; the bitterness is strong, with resins that are a bit piney; the final is quite balanced long.
But overall this beer is rough.

Tap @ Mikkeller bar. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are malt, hops, caramel and is also a little earthy.
