Mar 30, 2009 Hazy copper with a creamy tan head that fades and laces well. Nose of alcohol and pine. Hoppiness is just at the end, with a lot of malty smoothness, sweet caramel, with just a dry moderaltely bitter finish.

Mar 28, 2009 1 pt .9 fl oz bottle. Poured an absolutely stunning deep amber color with a huge three finger width white frothy head. I very rarely give a 5/5 for appearance but this IPA looked perfect! The aroma was very complex consisting of a lot of hops, pine, caramel malt, and citrus notes. The taste was a wonderful mix of hops, citrus and pine. It left a very pleasant bitter taste in my mouth that made me want more. It had a medium mouthfeel and left excellent lacing on the side of my glass. I have had a lot of IPA’s in my day but this one stood out for some reason. I believe I enjoyed it so much because of how easy it was to drink. Again, Mikkeller impresses...

Mar 22, 2009 Bottle from DTM. This beer just reminded me of a really piney Sierra Nevada with a much better palate. Smelled great, but was overly bitter and harsh on the palate for a craft brew.

Mar 14, 2009 Clear gold pour with small head and good lacing. Musty hops on the nose with a good biscuit aroma. Flavor is soft, mutted hops that disappears quickly. Medium to thin palate. A bit disappointing.

Mar 13, 2009 Good looking ber this and holds magnificant off-white head for some time. No doubt this has good aromatics, sweet tropic fruits and mild citrus, but the flavours are dominated by hard green herbal hops. Big residual licorice and bitterness to finish. A textbook case of who big is not better. Shows some imbalance to my palate.

Mar 11, 2009 0.5l bottle. Pours a murky red tinged copper colour with a big white foamy head. Smell is tons of bitter herbal hops. Taste is bucketloads of bitter hops, herbal and peppery with citrus and lemon background. Sharp, bitter finish but very pleasant. Excellent IPA.
