in a gross cellaring and communication error, a great friend of mine acquired this beer about 8 months ago for me in my quest to complete this series from mikkeller. he neglected to bring it over until tonight, nearly two years (i think) since its been released. we all know hops dont hold up particularly well with time, so this was cool to have, but a letdown before i ever opened it. cant speak for it fresh, maybe this will come out again, but for now this is the best i can offer on the saaz version. its ugly as sin really, hazy and thicker than any of the others, with a ton of floating yeast, snowglobe status here. an inch of off white head cant save it. the nose is not hoppy at all, but i like it because it smells like mikkeller yeast, which i have a soft spot for. more malt than hops in the flavor too, this must have really faded, as its almost entirely a yeast and malt bomb, bittering hops maybe, but thats all. i wish i could go back in time and do this one over, but theres just nothing left of the saaz, which i would have expected to be grassy and subdued, but not to this degree. finish is too yeasty for comfort and so is the feel. although its retained its bubbles, it feels like a mess up to me overall. take this review for what its worth, this beer is well past its reasonable prime.
