This is an awesome collaboration with Mikkeller and Hill Farmstead. It will mess with your mind as an IPA designed to mimic Limoncello. A slightly sour mash, combined with Lactose for sweetness, tonnes of lemon Zest and hopped to death with Sorachi Ace and Citra. Bottle, cask and keg. [Labeled as "Lemon Cello IPA" in the US Market.]

Bottle thanks to Will. Pours a clear copper orange with small off white head. The aroma is strong lemon zest, lacto, oak. Medium mouthfeel with nice tart lemon, light hop, and tart finish. Good.

On tap at the Redchurch Brewery. Amber pour with a white head. Aromas of peach, pineapple lots of fruit in there. Citrus and apricot jam flavour. Quite dry. Quite a tasty number.

Shared by suurjuust, thanks! Pours dark golden-amber with off-white head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is citrus, lemon, honey, tropical fruits. Flavor is sour, lemon with hint of grapefruit. Finish is tart lemon. Alcohol is well covered. Overall: tastes reminds lemon juice. Not really complex or exciting, but drinkable.

Bottle. Pours light amber, a bit cloudy, a small white bubbly head which slowly goes. Mostly lemon meringue in the aroma, also hoppy and fruity. Taste is juicy lemon, candied fruit, sugary, slightly sour, almost hinting at a gueuze. Medium to full in the mouth, hop resins and lemon juice in the finish. Nice, and interesting.

33cl bottle from Systembolaget, Sundsvall. BBE 15 April 2015. Amber color, thin white head. Wow, very strong lemon at first, some biscuity notes, citrus hops in aroma. Flavor is tart with lemon juice, hops, cloudberries and pine notes. Mouthdrying, tart finish. Extreme, but refreshing. Haven’t had Limoncello, but this is a little like drinking some lemon mix you pour in drinks, only hoppier.

Aroma is sweaty hops, tropical fruit, grapes, kiwi and lemons.
Flavor is loads of sour lemons, grape fruit, hops and pine. Long, salty bitterness.
Really, really refreshing!

Pale, hazy orange with low head. Sweet, grassy aroma. Citrus dominates the taste. More lemonade than beer.

Flaska från SB. Bärnstensfärgad, medelhögt skum. Stor fin citrusdoft. Märklig sur, besk och söt smak i den ordningen strävt syrlig i munnen med mycket citronzest och kumquatkaraktär i kombination med lite kärv sorachi med dillspad och järnspik blir det tillsammans å ena sidan ganska udda och å andra sidan lIte endimensionell. Jag minns den första Mikkeller Limoncello som riktigt frisk och trevlig. Det här var mer ett roligt experiment än riktigt bra.
