BOTTLE: 33cl. Brown glass. White pry-off crown cap. Best before: 27/06/16. Purchased at Stockmann in Tallinn, Estonia.
5.5% (though the label displays a typo - 55%).
Served cold into a stangenglas. Expectations are above average given the brewer - who is one of my favourites in the world. Reviewed live as a pale ale per the label.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: Occupies ~85% of the glass. Dirty white-khaki colour. Too thick for a pale ale. Soupy, almost. Retention is stellar - ~15+ minutes; it's annoyingly good, actually - you have to wait forever to drink it.
BODY: Murky translucent nontransparent copper of below average vibrance. Not the clean clear appearance I hope for in a good pale ale. No yeast is visible.
Looks decent for the style, but it's not unique or special.
AROMA: Pale malts. Floral hop character. Some caramalt.
The hops seem downplayed, and the balance seems to lean too much towards the malts; it's too sweet. Pretty underwhelming for a pale ale, with no interesting citrusy, resinous, oily, or fruity hop notes.
TASTE: A shallow simple taste of pale malts, light caramalts, and generic floral hops. Unbalanced and rudimentary, with a basic flavour profile that warrents no further description.
TEXTURE: Equally generic. Smooth, wet, slightly overcarbonated, medium-bodied, unrefreshing. Suits the taste generally well without elevating the beer as a whole.
OVERALL: Some of Mikkeller's least interesting work. I'm a bit confounded why he even brewed this; it's so forgettably conventional - vocabulary I never thought I'd use for a Mikkeller beer. Drinkable but uninteresting. I wouldn't trifle with this beer again.
