4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Body of hazy orange with a picturesque pillowy thick white head. Great aroma of traditional simcoe (grapefruit, pine, floral) hops. The start of this experience is blissful. Flavor is a nice blast of hops with a noticable maltiness. This is another excellent IPA. How this beer can survive the overseas trip and still taste this fresh baffles me. Another winner in the single hop IPA series. Great effort!

Bottle. Pours out and looks like a typical IPA. Huge citrus / grass / fresh hop aroma (most likely from simcoe....????). Taste is sweet, fruity, bitter, and pretty good. Not enough citrus for my liking, and especially not at the price point. Worth trying, but not something I would make a habit of buying.

Bottle at THT, courtesy of Zer0. Pours a misty orange beer with a nice, medium dense, of white head. Aroma is definitely simcoe, cardboard and light pine. Flavour is light bitter, not much special. Just decent.

Pours deep amber with small beige top, but rocky foam layer is quite sustainable, light lasing. Aroma - citrusy and again citrusy, intense. Taste - light sweet body with super bitter backbone for just IPA. Palate - medium bodied, watery texture, dry bitter finish, soft carbonation. Very drinkable and very pleasant IPA. Surprisingly well hopped for IPA. Sugest!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle. Copper pour with thick white head. Aroma gives lots of candied pineapple, dank tropical fruit, caramel and (oddly) heavy plastic notes. Taste is sweet synthetic pineapple, caramel, overripe mango, orange, and more weird plastic. Nice and bitter with plenty of residual tropical/pine resin flavour. Decent, but a few too many odd flavours in there for me: maybe there is such a thing as too much Simcoe!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33cl bottle. Pours light orange brown hazy with small head. smooth bitter taste with caramel sweetness and some soapy notes also. love the single hop ipa series from mikkeller.
