Mikkeller
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)

Orange amber pour and nice beige head. Has a fanstatic herbal hoppy nose with a hint of citrus and some maltiness. A good body and a appropriate amount of sweetness, well-balanced with a fine bitter grassy hop flavor and a resiny Very good.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich hops, flowers, grass and malt. Very bitter and long finish.

Bottle from City Beer. This shit is the JAM. Nose of crisp, fruity, slightly tart juicy hops. Flavor is the same - sweetly, tartly drinkable, full of juice, seemingly, with no grain, sting, or unpleasantness to them. Really alive, very fresh, very great.

Bottle at Haket, Göteborg 2010-02-06 AP: amber whit 2 cm high head AR: IPA, citrus, F: strong hopy flavor, rough bitterness, IPA, citrus - a bit to heavy for me!

Draught at 3 Små Rum, Göteborg. Cloudy copper colour with creamy, rocky head. Black tea nose from Tomahawk hops, along with flowers and little grape. Flavourwise it’s melon up front, followed by rubber balloon and lipstick. Really perfumy. After is incredibly bitter, too much even for a hophead like myself. Body was medium and not much to mention of.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark orange color with a big foamy white head. Head is very fluffy and slow to recede. Bout two fingers worth. Lots of teeny bubbles race towards the surface. Nose is very floral with a light spicy hop note as well, very fresh smelling and bouquet like. Palate is a little on the thin side but the mouthfeel is awesome. Very playful and fizzy with a great bitterness and a sticky tongue with some coated molars. Nose continues to be very fresh and soothing. Flavor is mostly just bitterness and stinging feeling, some light sweet notes are picked out, but mostly just the bitterness and mouthfeel take over any flavors that are present. Still, this is quite an enjoyable experience.

33cl bottle. Pours a clear glowing darker orange with a perfect super tall thick foamy bubbly frothy cream colored sticky head. Aroma is quite pleasant and definitely one of the best of the Mikkeller Single Hops, bright, stingy, strong orange with light vanilla, touch of pineapple, touch pine, has lesser of the buttery/plasticy notes than some of the others. Flavor follows, strong, great freshness, more earthy piney, very cleanly resiny, some light orange, vanilla and pineapple, touch bubblegum/green banana, more plastic than the aroma, extremely bitter finish, eraser like, reminds me slightly of the Double Trouble in its bitterness. Surprised at the juiciness of the Columbus. Medium bodied, creamy with sharp fizzy carbonation.

Transparent bright orange amber pour has a full-lacing froth of beige head. Has an herbal earthy hop nose with a hint of grapefruity citrus and some toasty caramel maltiness. Starts with good body and the appropriate amount of sweetness, well-balanced with a grassy herbal hop flavor and a resiny bitterness before a crisp bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable and an interesting hop profile.
