Pours a copper/amber hue with a nose that brings citric tones. Flavor is a smooth mix of bitter, slight salt, and piney tones. The profile stays fairly consistent. Feel is very smooth and it is very drinkable.
Another good production from Mikkeller, IMO. Not exactly sure what’s up with the water over there, but I always keep my eye open for productions from these guys I haven’t tried.

Jul 8, 2008 Vibrantly gold. Very nice mouthfeel: soft, rich, appropriately carbonated. Wonderful flavors and aromas from start to finish. Malts had elements of freshly baked bread, yeasty dough, sugary caramel and faint honey. Hops were bright with pine, flowers, earth and citrus (grapefruit, tangerine, lemon). Some heat in the back of the throat melded well with a grassy bitterness. Bold yet pleasant. Overall, I really enjoyed this IPA.

Jun 24, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a large sized head of foamy off-white colored fine to medium sized bubbles that left behind a hazy typically carbonated dark orange colored body. The mouth feel was semi-thick and tingly from start to finish. The aroma contained notes of soft piny hops. The flavor was strong with mildly piny hop malt notes.
