Copenhagen 18/3 2020. 44 cl can from Mikkeller Web-shop. Pale yellow can with a golden ball surrounded by writing spelling "Stigbergets Göteborg".
Pours opaque, hazy, golden yellow with a medium-sized white head. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is medium intense, sweet with a malty touch and with fairly strong citric notes. Sweet malts and caramel. Notes of peach and pineapple. Stronger touch of grape fruit and citrus. Still gentle and pleasant.
Light carbonation. Medium thick, smooth, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense. Medium sweetness followed by a slightly stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with a light tart undercurrent. Lingers for a while. Semi-dry finish.
Gentle, middle of the road IPA which manages to just taste good.

Shared 440 ml can. Hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Lovely aroma of citrussy and piney hops, also tropical fruits. Hoppy flavour, grapefruity and piney, good bitterness.

Pours a slightly cloudy, golden amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and quite faint, muddled hop aromas of tropical and citrus fruit, with just a hint of dankness. Taste follows, the nose, being dominated by sweet, biscuity malt as well as some, faint, muted, stale tropical/citrus hops and light dankness coming through, with barely recognizeable notes of mango and tangerine. Finishes with a very light bitterness and some biscuity malt and muddled hops lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
This beer is 8 months old now and that's what it tastes like, with the hops being quite faint and muted, which brings out the sweet'ish biscuity malt more and making for an unbalanced, poor drinking experience that is bereft of the vibrant, juicy hop aromatics that a NEIPA is supposed to embody. I'm not going to not rate this because of its age because the brewery sets 12-month best-by dates for their IPAs and I therefore consider it ultimately their fault if their beer reaches customers in this state. It deserves to be rated for what it is as far as I'm concerned.
