Mikkeller Single Hop Warrior IPA

Pours orange. Nose is pineapple, grapefruit, pine and caramel. Flavor is sweet pineapple, ripe grapefruit, soft bitterness and resiny pine mixed with sweet malt.

Bottle at the beer bistro. Dark hazy amber pour, with huge frothy tight head, with a loads of sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma is ALL grapefruit hops, and the flavor is bitter, and at the same time very sweet, and again, just loaded with grapefruit , a great IPA.

Courtesy of Blazer06. Pours copper with gold edges and thin white head. The aroma is hoppy with spice first and then earthiness, a bit of resin and a dash of grass. The taste is much the same with earthy to spicy hops to start and then moving into resin hop bitterness with a brief citrus hop note. It ends with the addition of some malts and a moment of graininess.

A good beer. Pours a cloudy orange/amber with frothy off-white head and sticky lacing. Piney sticky hops, spicey, sweet caramel, grapefruit, yeast, and bitter. Enjoyable.

Bottle:Hazy, copper to amber coloured, big rocky and stable off-white head, very lively carbonation; very solid, pungent, aromatic piney-hoppy nose with a delicate, but well detectable, sweet dark-malty and also fruity backbone; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering hoppy-piney finish, balanced by sweet malt and a light warming alcohol-burn. Great......

Bottle at Hunter’s, Pori. Hazy dark amber, thick pale head. Sweet and spicy nose, very caramelly, cotton candy, sugary bubble gum, dried pear, not that strong hops. Flavor is mellow pear fruitiness, loads of yeast, chalk, surprisingly modest aroma hops. Medium bodied, lush soft palate. Mediocre and a bit homebrew-like, loads of stuffy yeast.

Bottle. Pours a dark, cloudy, dusky brownish-orange amber hue. A thick head of spongy, ivory tinted foam seems everlasting, and it leaves pronounced, rock hard flares of bubbly lacing on the glass. The nose shows a sweet toffee malt backbone, with hints of buttered toast and perhaps a little creaminess. The hop profile shows a nice balance between floral and citrusy, with orange blossoms standing out, and peppery, Belgian yeast coming through on the finish. Flavors are the same, very well balanced between semi-sweet toffee and striking orange and floral hops, with the bready, peppery Belgian yeast drawing things together well. The palate is smooth and round up front, turning creamy at the mid point and finishing semi-dry and yeasty. Good stuff. This is how I like my Euro-IPAs.

Pours a cloudy copper color with a white head. Aroma of pine and citrus hops. Flavor is of strong pine hops with some citrus flavor as well. Finsh is pretty bitter. Overall a decent simple beer.
