330ml bottle - not quite sure as to the ink/tattoo reference.
This beer pours a barely hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent layered cirrus cloud form lace around the glass as it slowly fades away.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, dried cat piss, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, faint pineapple and mango exotic fruity notes, some damp minerality, and more understated earthy, herbal, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and actually quite smooth, with a nice airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frooty essences and lingering basic bitch malt presiding.
Overall - I am not entirely certain why this offering describes itself as a 'Hazy IPA'. First off, it's not all that hazy. Second, it's got more of an American Pale Ale flavour going on (still filtered through a Belgian brewer, natch). Don't get me wrong, it's good, but as usual with Mikkeller, confusing.
