Mikkeller Stateside India Pale Ale / IPA

Pours an amazingly deep and clear ruby/amber with a wonderful beige froth that rivals the best double IPAs. Aroma is fruity, waxy and lots of resin, also some honey and citrus. Flavor is lots of melon, honey-dew, bitter grapefruit, and what seems like some english malts? Hops have a nice bite to them. It is quite dry for the style. Palate is waxy, disjointed but with fine fizzy carbonation. Similar to North Bridge Extreme. This is a fine beer, I do not understand its relatively low rating.

From LIC, Aarhus, DK Bottled Balanced malt sweetness and an explosion of hop bitterness and flavors. Grape fruit like

Pours a honey amber color with a medium sudsy white head. Nose is very pleasant, caramel, fruit and good hop character. Mouthfeel is airy and thin. Initial taste of mild caramel, rhiney bitterness but balanced enough to be enjoyable. Finishing with a good hop balance and continuing mild caramel. Good head retention and spot lacing. Average palate duration.

Got to share this with Alldaydrinker. The appearance is a cloudy orange with thin lacey head along the side of the glass. The nose is extreamly strong of hops and lemon grass. The flavor is very bitter with hints of lemon and a caramel finish. It is a standard IPA with bitter hops and a malted flavor that is full bodied.

Bottle from Holiday Wine. Pours orange with a moderate size, tan head with decent retention and some lace. Smells sweet and earthy hoppy. Some citrus and a little caramelly malt. Tastes hoppy and malty all at the same time. Hops are sweet and earthy with good bitterness on the finish. The caramel malt flavors give a solid backbone to the brew. Full body, slightly bitter, nice smooth carbonation

From the bottle, pours a copper color with a thin white head. Nice citrus aroma, but not overpowering. Flavor is heavy citrus and a little bit of pine bitterness. Some sweet caramel tries to balance, but the hops win out, the way I like it. Oily mouthfeel and not much carbonation. Solid IPA overall though, looking forward to trying more of their stuff.

fairly new in town... looking forward to trying all there Brews...as far as this one goes, Bottle, Pours a heavy amber color with not much head. Citrusy aroma with some decent hops. A very thick IPA with a hint of alcohol with the hops and citrus in the taste. A little too thick for my liking, but still the taste makes up for it. Now on to there stouts!

From a 22 courtesy of Maniac. Clear copper with a medium head that collapses rapidly. Nice citrusy hop aroma. Citrusy american hop flavor balanced by some caramel malt sweetness. Medium well carbonated mouthfeel. Hop bitterness lasts well into the finish.
