Finger Guns
Mikkeller ApS

 

Copenhagen 18/6 2022. 47,3 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Steel can with army-green label with Gentleman shooting his finger gun wearing sunglasses.

Pours opaque hazy golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as 0,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Crawling up the side of the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a slightly fermented odor of overripe tropical fruits mingling with citric fumes. Mango and peach. Whiff of decay. Grapefruit and lemon.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, almost flat texture.

Flavor is fairly intense with a fairly strong sweetness followed and balanced by a slightly stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is rather dry.

Potent and a bit boozy Finger Gun.

This New England Style IPA has a nice lighter color and pours with a short head. An IPA without the harsh hoppy bite, it has floral undertones and imparts a creamy but clean finish. Despite its 7% rating, this is an easy drinking beer which deserves consideration at your next party. There are a lot of trashy beers out there. This isn’t one of them.

 

 

Can pour- murky yellow/orange juice with foamy white head leaving frosty lacing. Nose is mild tropical fruit. Taste follows with a hint of sweet malt and some citrus. Mild citric bite lingers on a dryish finish.

 

Murky orange pour. Not quite opaque but close. Fluffy head that fades pretty quickly.

Nose is faint but there's a nice mix of tropical fruit. Pineapple, mango, lemon and maybe even kiwi.

First sip is tart and a little sweet. Flavors of white grape, lemon, and pineapple. A hint of malt flavor and a tart, medium dry finish. Not especially complex but good nonetheless. Not much alcohol taste.

Feel is light and crisp. Not especially creamy for a NEIPA but a nice zippy feel with good carbonation.

Pretty good IPA. I'm not sure I've had much from Mikkeller before. It's not a world-class IPA but it's good nonetheless. It'd be a good sipper for a hot summer night.

 

 

 

Was suprised to be the first to review this brew ... Chunky/hazy appearance with some yeast floating/settling ... Great nose and smooth to drink ... Very nice!
