3.7 Bottle. Amber body with white head Aroma is nice fruits pines and some malte. Taste is malt some fruits and hints of peppermint with some spices. Aftertaste is nice bitter with some malty sweetness.

3.7 Bottle. Pours murky golden with a tall white and solid head. Aroma is sweet caramel and bitter grapefruit. Excellent palate, thick and full body. Bitter finish. Very balanced between the sweet and bitter flavour. I think the main thing with this beer is the palate. Yum.

3.9 20cl at Mikkeller and Friends, Stefansgade. Recommended by the barman. Cloudy rich gold, lovely white head. Complex nose of hobs and herbs, zest and light caramel. Medium body, soft fizz. Loads going on, so many layers. Not exactly a hop bomb, but an expert (not me) I’m sure could pick out plenty of the 20 hops in there. Lovely smooth finish. Good stuff.

3.4 Comparing this to the Mikkeller 10, which rates much higher at 98 vs 89 for this. I can see why. This tastes maltier and has more of the uniform hop flavour I expected from both but didn’t get in the 10. The yeast seems a bit heavy here too. Beautiful deep and cloudy gold.

3.7 Uit de fles geschonken. Mooi oranjegeel bier, ietwat troebel. Aromas van hop en perzik. De smaak is wat bitterder en iets minder zoet dan de 19, maar lijkt in mijn optiek veel op de 19. Ik proef wat tropisch fruit en perzik, en is grassig in de afdronk. Een goede IPA.

3.8 330 ml bottle. Dark orange colour with unstable head off. Aroma of citrus fruits,just pretending that summer is coming. Taste of lime,herbs,mango,hops,bitter aftertaste. Good one,refreshing

2.8 Typing in notes from this summer. 0,33 bottle Vinmonopolet Aroma of Caramalt, herbs, fruity and hops. Taste the same. Bitterness is good, but overall I’m not impressed by this beer...

4.0 Un cocktail di luppoli amaro ed intransigente. Naso e palato da "IPA estrema" ma l’ho trovata meno "complessa" e maggiormente erbacea della Mikkeller 19, rispetto alla quale perde i sentori maltoso-dolciastri e si rivela più secca e asciutta.

3.7 Kjøpt på flaske på Skarven i Tromsø. Gyllen og litt uklar med hvitt skum. Tydelig smak av karamell og utpreget humle. Noen innslag av bartre. All over et belgisk preg, men med mye humle.

3.5 Bottle. Sensoric. Deep amber/light brown, medium hazy with big, densed, white head. Good head retention. Very good lacing. Nice citrus medium (grapefruit, orange) and light piney aroma, pilsener malts quite noticable. Taste is medium bitter, definetelty earthy character, with some herbs, piney and citrus. Medium body, medium carbonation, creamy texture, finish is malty (pilsener) and light bitter. Nice and decent IPA, but nothing outstanding.

3.5 at my home along with Yves hazy amber coloured body with a white head and a spicy hop yeast aroma a spicy yeast fruity hops slightly dry bitter taste with a alcholic bitter finish

3.4 Pours golden orange with an off-white head that’s quite thin but has good retention. Aroma is definitely hoppy with a mesh of spice, resin and some zest. Medium body, slick feel, average carbonation. The taste is a hoppy follow-up of the aroma with grapefruit, pepper and grass. Bitter and a bit abrupt finish.

3.4 Bottle @ home. Clear dark orange color, full sized off-white to beige head. Aroma is malts, hops, a hint of yeast, orange, a hint of orangepeel in the distance, a hint of old hops. Taste malts, some hop fruitiness, but I can’t help but feel the real fresh hopflavors have long gone, bitter. Medium body and carbonation.

Aftertaste: very bitter, citrus, medicinal bitterness, fruity notes.

3.4 Bottled. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, grassy and quite sweetly malty as well. Flavour is sweet malts, some toffee, mild alcohol as well as a rather big sweetish fruity, grassy, floral and nectary kind of hopping. In a way it goes over the top, but at the same time there is some kind of balance to it all.

3.8 Bottle at Blue Hotel Lidingö. Pours dark amber with a nice head. Balanced sweet and bitter IPA, lots of citrus and passion fruit. It does the trick.

3.8 Amber colour with decent lacy head. Sweet tropical fruit in the aroma and flavour. Some mango and pink grapefruit. Moderate bitterness. Very well balanced.

3.1 330 ml bottle. Slightly unclear dark golden body with a nice, big off-white head. Aroma is quite malty with some fruitiness and herbal hops. Flavor is malty with some citric and tropical fruit, pine and herbs. Not very bitter, aftertaste is malty with fruit and ends up a bit earthy. Quite malt dominated for an IPA and the hop is surprisingly mellow, almost boring. Not very impressing.

3.4 330ml bottle Appearance: An hazy amber beer with a light cream beige head, Which leaves some lacing. Aroma: grapefruit, pineapple and green apples. Taste: Bitter,moderate sweet. Pineapple, some light malts and finish with citrus and earthy bitterness. thin-medium body, Soft carbonation
