Dec 26, 2008 Pours an orange/amber color with a thick white head, good carbonation and decent lacing. Aroma of citrus, floral and pine hops. Flavor has citrus, with a light grapefruit-like bitterness in the finish. Taste is also balanced with a light malt flavor, and the beer has a refreshing finish. Very solid beer overall.

Dec 25, 2008 Updated: Apr 11, 2009500 ml bottle. Slightly hazy orange body with a big off-white head. Aroma is citrus and some caramel. Flavor is citrus fruity, bitter and sweet caramel malt. A nice IPA and even if it is quite bitter I think this is one of the few Mikkeller beers that could have even a little more hops. Still very nice and refreshing.

Dec 20, 2008 50cl bottle from Barley Wine. It poured an orange colour with a huge white creamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. The aroma is very hoppy with notes of oranges, and a few hints of citrus fruits. The flavour is slightly bitter and tastes of hops and pine. It has a long, lingering aftertaste.

Dec 19, 2008 After travelling across an ocean and then across a good chunk of the U.S., this fine IPA still gave off a burst of fresh hoppy aroma when I opened the bottle. Grassy lemoney piney goodness! The deep golden liquid with nice off-white foam jumped out of my cup and greeted me with the joy of a long-lost friend. Its taste lingered and changed while clinging to my tongue, bringing visions of sunny citrus orchards, dew-kissed herb gardens, and even the mighty Viking warships of yore. Buy a bottle if you can. It’s like being in Denmark and San Diego and India at the same time... woah.

Dec 14, 2008 500ml bottle poured into a shaker. Starting temperature at 39 degrees F. MSIPA pours murky and bronze-colored with a smallish head of fine bubbles that leave lace curtains on the side of the glass. The aroma is of hops, pine and spearmint. This beer has a nice thick body that is just a touch oily, no doubt from the hops. The flavor is solid and bitter. It has pine and hemp flavors as well. This is another excellent showing from Mikkeller yet not a beer that stands out in the ultra-competitive category of world-class IPAs.
