4.3 Can at polyhistor. Hazy orange colour small white head. Nose is orange rind. Taste is medium high bitterness strong orange rind notes. Overall normally it would be a 15+, but I gave 20 cuz this the beer it got me into craft beers. /sentimentalism.

3.9 pIęknie się prezentuje w szkle. Po za tym daj daje ostro tropikami i białymi owocami, czego mogę wymagać więcej? pIjalność też świetna.
4.0 330ml served in a pint glass. Pours a slightly cloudy orange color forming a medium off white creamy head with good retention and lot of lingering and molasses lacings formed and left in the glass. Nose is very fruity. Strong notes of blueberries and tropical fruits (I love Nelson Sauvin hops!). Quite flowery and bit boozy. Taste follows the nose: blueberries and tropical fruits in upfront, followed by caramel malts and grapefruit. Notes of passion fruit. Reasonable bitterness. Good and persistent. Heavy body. Medium carbonation. Grapefruit, caramel and blueberry in the aftertaste. Great drinkability. Great IIPA.
4.0 Tap (Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen). Almost clear, golden with delicate white-grey head. Aroma is fresh with power of tropical fruits, intense and nice. Delicate sweet in taste with quite huge resin bitterness, tropical fruits rule in this beer. Full body but really drinkable, fresh and tasty.
3.9 Bottle. Sensoric. Golden, medium hazy with medium to big, semi-thick head. Moderate head retention and lacing. Moderate aroma of tropical fruits (mainly pineapple and mango) with citrus (oranges) and grapes accents. You can find also some "sweet" sugary and marmalade, almost juicy notes. Taste is medium bitter, pretty well balanced with semi-sweet malty profile. Medium to full body, creamy and thick texture, average carbonation, finish is semi bitter, slightly juicy and quite long. In general very solid IIPA, maybe not outstanding, but quite drinkable and refreshing.
3.6 Gutes IIPA, riecht und schmeckt sehr fruchtig. Süß, aber nicht zu süß. Frische Bittere im Nachtrunk.
3.9 Szép nagy, hosszan tartó hab. Színe homályos, már-már zavaros borostyán. Illata határozottan, és nagyon erősen grapefruitos, ami mellé befurakszik a komlós fűszeresség. Kortyoláskor először a komló fűszeressége támad, rögtön követi egy brutális keserűsség. A csúcsponton előretör a grapefruit, ami lecsengéskor is velünk marad. Utóízét betölti a keserűsség, méghozzá jó hosszan. Igazán telt sör.
3.0 Unclear matt medium orange color with a small large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, pale malt, moderate to heavy hoppy, citrus, pine, grass, moderate grapefruit. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light heavy bitter with a long duration, pine, grapefruit, tropical fruit, citrus. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

3.9 330 ml bottle. Pours hazy orange colour with medium white head. Aroma of citrus, mango, hops, tropical fruits and pine. Medium body with soft carbonation, taste is citrus and piney with bitter finish. Great beer.
3.6 Een troebel geel bier. Aroma’s van koekjes, tropisch fruit, mout en hop. Dit komt ook in de smaak terug, zoetig en bitter, met een lekkere bittere hoppige nasmaak. Mijn 1e Mikkeller, een goede introductie.
3.7 330 ml bottle. BB 08/10/16. (Uba ja Humal) Tallinn, Estonia. Hazy yellow golden color with a mid-size white head. White wine, sourness, some resiny hops, mild bitterness and dryness in the aroma. The flavor is really bitter with resiny hops, white wine, sourness and dryness. Really strong flavor. No alcohol in flavor.
3.8 33 cl bottle from Uba & Humal. Pours cloudy orange with a small thick white head. Nose has leather, citrus and wine notes. Dry and herbal. Crisp hoppy, grapes and sweet impression on the palate. Smooth fruity finish. Interesting flavor palate all in all.
3.7 Hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is sweet tropical fruits with pineapple, mango, peach, citrus and pine. Taste is medium sweet with tropical fruits and smooth bitter, dry lasting piney bitter finish. Medium bodied.
4.3 33cl bottle at home from Only Good Beer, Budapest. Body is hazy orange, head is medium, cream white, creamy, average lasting, good lacing. Nose is fruity, flavor is grapefruit, biscuit, tropical fruits, spices, orange peel. Medium sweet medium to heavy bitter. Finish is long lasting hoppy heavy bitter. Full body, soapy texture, average carbonation. Not too easy, very strong flavor, tasty, aromatic, great beer.
3.3 The aroma is full of hops, rubber and a small note of alcohol. The color is murky orange, nicely unfiltered. The taste is full of hops and peaches with a finish of rubber. A nice beer!
4.2 Bottle 0,33. Shared with friends on Alexey’s birthday. Very strong fruity aroma. Fruity, hoppy taste with citric notes. Long bitter aftertaste. Very good.
3.3 0.33L bottle. Sour, over boiled vegetable mass, floral aroma. Hazy orange, nice white foam. Unfortunately taste is messy and booring. Fruit sugar, mango and sweet grapes, even light strawberry note. Sugary. Something is missing. Mikkeller heart and devotion is gone somewhere. Fruity mouthfeel. Some cool bitterness i can feel on in finish.
3.9 This beer full of hop aroma , like peaches pineapples and some honey. Sweeter than my predection , but reduced the bitter of beer, good balanced.
3.4 Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentin. Thanks Shmupi. Hazy blond with a white head. A little off at first, then ripe citrus hoppiness in the nose. Soft hoppy bitterness in the mouth, a little yeasty. Medium body, citrus finish and soft fizz.
3.5 Few head and hazy orange color. Quite bitter start and some citric flavours. Finish is bittet toosome dominant hops is residual.
2.7 330ml bottle from BrewDog. Muddy yellow amber, reasonable head. Soapy flowery tangerine aroma. Mango resin & grain flavour. Alcohol aftertaste. Bit disappointing.
3.2 At a tasting, thanks, smallish head, cloudy palish orange color, aroma of citrus and flowers with a hint of orange blossom and maltiness, flavor of orange marmalade, peanuts, citrusy bitterness and just a malty touch. Nice but a bit off balance.
3.6 12 oz. bottle at Micro Bar, pours a cloudy dirty orange with a large white head. Nose brings out tangy citrus notes and dry biscuity malt to back. Flavour is similar, revealing notes of tangy citrus hops, pine, resin and just enough biscuity malt. Dry, tangy, hoppy and impeccably balanced. Excellent stuff.
3.9 Bottle. Aroma is good, tropical fruit as expected, mango, booze, bit of cat pee, bit of resin. Taste is good too. Initial hop bitterness then fades into long tropical fruit finish, pineapple and mango. Can’t feel the alcohol so much. Nice.
3.9 Piana: bia?a, drobna, g?sta, wygl?da wspania?e i wolno opada. Kolor: ciemny pomara?cz, lekko m?tne. Zapach: S?odki. S? grapefruty, ananas, mango, karmel, s?ód. Jak na taki poziom alkoholu(8,9%) bardzo orze?wiaj?cy, ?wie?y. Smak: Idealne zbalansowanie goryczki i s?odyczy, wydaje si? jakby istnia?y w tej samej chwili. Bardzo pe?ne, wszystko jest wype?nione jakim? smakiem. Dominuj? oczywi?cie cytrusy, troche ?ywicy, lekko przebija si? ananas i pomara?cza. W posmaku goryczka, nast?pnie alkoholowa s?odycz i na samym ko?cu pomara?cza. Intryguj?ce piwo. Ogólnie: Baaardzo dobre piwo. Lubi? tyle wra?e? przy jednej ma?ej butelce. Z ch?ci? sprobuje reszty IIPA z tej serii.
