Down With Upstate New York
Mikkeller ApS

This beer is just bad, especially with the price point (approx. 18.99 per 4 pk). Poured into a pint glass with a canned on date of 08/23/19. The smell isn't bad, with a candied pineapple nose dominating. The color is a strange opaque light orange that has a vacuous head that recedes very quickly. The taste all the way through is of watered down pineapple extract with no noticable malt or hop presence; it really tastes medicinal. The carbonation is moderate and the mouth feel is light, which would be fine if the beer had palletable flavors. This is a big miss by what has become a hit or miss brewery, and it's a shame that it will damage the name of a great Rochester brewery (Stillwater) whom is by all means consistently excellent. I guess I'll just have to plug my nose and chug this one.
