330ml bottle - yet another creepy-ass label from the house artist responsible for Mikkeller's offerings.

This beer pours a, well it 'pours' a fuck you very much once again to the De Proef brewing concern for making an immediate mess of my desktop - before I could even toss the cap, the bottle jizzes all over the fucking place. Anyway, eventually there is a pale golden amber liquid to deal with, alongside a puffy, rocky, and chunky bone white head, which leaves some weirdly juxtaposed thick and thin lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.

It smells of grainy and crackery pale malt, sugary citrus notes, muddled tropical fruit, Pez candies, a touch of wayward son yeastiness, and further leafy, piney, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, mixed and matched domestic and tropical fruitiness, a weird estery yeasty character, some free-range candi sugar, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is - oh Jebus Christus, I forgot - don't tip this bottle anything more than 45 degrees, or you'll surely get an unwelcome mess everywhere, as I did once again. At any rate, there are adequate frothy bubbles once shit settles down anew, which leads to a simple, and somewhat creamy smoothness. It finishes off-dry, and strangely vegetal, which is yet another nail in the metaphorical coffin here.

Overall, this is yet another stupid shitshow from the De Proef brewery's predilection for overwrought carbonated abortions of a brew - Mikkeller should have known better (but obviously doesn't) to release such a monstrosity in the wild. Fuck him and them, and woe be it on those celiacs and otherwise hipster douchebag lifestylers who stumble upon this ill-begotten offering.
