From a can. Enjoyed fresh.

Pours a murky muddled hazy honey color. Honeydew melon and a light hoppy aroma. Hardly any bitterness on the end. This was a good one.

 

very much ok but the hops are not bringing it home

Pours a hazy, pale yellow, with fine, soapy foam.

Smells like orange juice with some passionfruit dribbled in. Juicy and tropical.

Taste is fruity and citrusy with a pretty powerful bitterness. Ends with a bit of sweetness and some earthy melon.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, another very tasty and drinkable IPA from Mikkeller SD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/26/2018. Pours opaquely hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1-3 finger dense and rocky white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, green pepper, pine, honey, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, green pepper, pine, honey, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, green pepper, pine, honey, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an outstanding NEIPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; insanely smooth and refreshingly easy to drink with the very mildly bitter/drying finish. Extremely juicy/dank balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, not overly sweet/heavy feeling. A highly enjoyable offering. Spot on style example, with a perfectly soft mouthfeel. Wonderful hop showcase.

 

16oz. can poured in to a standard pint glass.

Dull and hazy soft orange color. Not as "thick" looking as others in the style. My pour yielded a fluffy 2-plus F white head that retained a bit and left solid lacing.

Light biscuit malt and lots of tropical fruit. A shot of citrus. No alcohol.

Particularly fruity. I like the pineapple slant, almost like biting a pineapple wedge, more solid than juicy. There are other tropical fruits and backdoor citrus, lemon and orange.

Chewy feel with lively carbonation. Creamy medium body with a clean hop finish and no alcohol burn.

Nice take on a popular style.

Hazy like Snoop Dog after his 4th joint, this one is starting off on the right foot. I thought I knew the tropics until this one landed under my beak - because the aroma on this one is almost super natural. This bad boy takes you on a Tahitian vacation any day of the week. Along with those intoxicating aromas (that would make Karl Malden blush), is a taste that has you on the cusp of being with Rita Hayworth in “The Lady from Shanghai” - I’m talkin’ hot. I’m talkin’ sleek. And I’m talking sultry. Do yourself a favor; like Michael Phelps, just dive right in.

 

 

Tall can w/o a canning date...

Nice looking NEIPA style pour, hazed and leaves nice looking gauzy low sheeting and fields of lacing.

Oranges and pineapple on the nose.

More of the same on the palate....delicious stuff, with assorted tropical infused hop notes...well worth a try
