Clear orange pour from a bottle. Good looking sticky head. Spicy and apricot aroma. Slightly bitter and nice citrus taste. The mikkelers all have this certain same taste to it
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33cl bottle at Probus Wines, Dublin. Pours hazy copper/amber with lasting off-white head and plenty of lacing. Aroma gives a load of pine resin, grapefruit, some deep-ish earthy spice, and caramel. Taste opens up with a hit of bitter pine and pithy grapefruit. Some orange and earthy herbaceous notes too. Sweetish caramel backbone is there, but not overly so - never becomes cloying. Powerfully resinous bitter finish and lingering pine in the aftertaste. This is a top-notch showcase of a powerful hop.

Bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Pours hazy deep golden with a huge frothy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, kiwi,pine and berries. Taste is delicious pine and resin, dry and bitter end. Very crisp and fresh hops.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
(on tap at MIkkeller & Friends) Pours a mostly clear amber with dense, medium white head. Beautiful lace and good retention. Aroma is hoppy with notes of sodapop and melon. Disappointingly light to medium body as I feel that the hop could easily stand up to a stronger malt backbone. Oily texture, medium carbonation and a sweet and not terribly bitter finish. Taste largely follows the nose with some added bittersweet and slightly weird hints of something that to me resembles rotting kitchen waste.

Förvånansvärt bra ändå med tanke på humlesorten. Det är ju lite udda att göra en singelhop på en alfabomb. Besk och bitter

Nice head and has an hazed orange colour. Hoppy citrus and orange peel aroma. Balanced brew with the big citrus and leafy hops component. MMMMM....

33 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori. Rated on 26.02.2010
Aroma is hoppy with fruits, some grassy notes, nettles and biscuits. Flavour has exotic fruits, some gooseberry bush, nettles, biscuits and hints of caramel. Hoppy and nice, but a bit straightforward like single hops usually are.
