Cryo Room
Mikkeller ApS

From the tall boy can in a snifter. This SOLID IPA pours
a chill hazed straw color with a wondrous head of white
foam that subsides to a thick ring, thick clumping layer, and
sports some excellent lacing. Nose of pineapple, mango,
lemon zest, and sticky pine with some grassy and herbal
notes amongst light sweet honey malts. Flavors rock the
nose with pineapple and mango doused in balanced
pine, honey malts, and rich herbal notes with
some nice grassy hop elements. Nice mouth
feel; medium light body, medium carbonation
that is lively and effervescent, and a citrus and light
pine laden finish that is moderately dry.

Overall, a VERY nice brew from a solid little
brewery!

Cheers

 

 

 

 

Pours a clear ligt orangre with light, fluffy, soapy head.

Smell is fruity and citrusy with notes of pine, pineapple and a hint of tartness.

Taste is fruity and crisp. Soft sweetness from the malt tango with notes of citrus and pineapple with a little bit of pine in the audience. Soft bitterness, and extremely easy to drink, doesn't feel anything like 7%.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a really crisp and drinkable IPA. This beer seems to be pretty divisive, but I really liked it.

This beer was not good. Look was pale straw, smell fell flat, taste was fizzy waterish and the feel was lackluster. The beer was probably the most disappointing I've had in a while. I drank less than half of the 16oz can and gave up. More like a slightly hoppy pilsner than an IPA. Avoid, hopefully they retire this one.

Lately Mikkeller have been putting out a lot of NE IPA's however, this one is not a NE. This beer is just blah. Very bland taste with a super thin mouthfeel. for $4.00 per can this beer is very disappointing especially being made by this brewing company which is usually really good.

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/8/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; with no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Nicely soft and not aggressive. Awesome Cryo Mosaic/Citra/Simcoe profile. Very vibrant, dank, earthy, and fairly juicy hops; with a great clean pale malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive west coast style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

 

Think a slightly better Miller high life. Looks like piss. Little to no aroma. Got a headache trying to smell anything in this beer. Only thing I detected was slight onion. Taste is slightly sweet non -disrupt hops. Just plain bad. Never again.

Clear-ish yellow with some white foam.

Not getting a smell.

Taste is very subtle, would've guessed this was a pilsner. The faintest of simcoe, faintest of sweetness but nothing notable.

More to it than a saison but not much.
