33cl can. Hazy dark orange with a tall beige head with good retention. Citrus and tropical fruit hops, as well as some pine in the background. Bitter and refreshing, without much malt sweetness.

330 ml can from BeerLovers Wien, bb 12/01/17.
Dark amber to copper, hazy body, with a big, creamy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, resin, passion fruit, pineapple, grass, biscuit.
Tastes of grapefruit, grass, earth, resin, some pine, tropical fruits in the background, biscuit.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, pretty piney, zesty, herbal, a bit fruity, a bit malty, quite alcohol warming.

Really nice. Fruity nose, while the taste is bitter and dry, with a lot of pine in the finish. Quite heavy and a bit harsh, maybe slightly too much, I prefer it more balanced. Overall another enjoyable IPA by Mikkeller, but yet they didn’t accomplish a world-class example of this style in my opinion.

Can:
Muddy orange colour. Large, thick head. Aroma is hops, resin and pine needles. Burning hop flavour with notes of pine needles, resin and grape fruit. Long bitterness.

Bottle. Orange color. Aroma of tropical fruit, caramel, peach and pineapple. Fresh taste of pineapple, pine, peach, caramel and mild tropical fruit. Nice hop juice.

Tap. Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Hazy, orange amber. Dense, lasting, off white head. Big, juicy hop. Lots of fleshy citrus. Some notes of berry fruits. Soft, oily herb. Decent level of chewy malt sweetness backing up the hoppage. Taste is initially sweet, turning fruity, zesty bitter. Full mouthfeel. Pretty clean, though. Long, oily, zesty bitter finish. Tasty gear.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Almost clear amber coloured, medium sized creamy off-white head, pleasant fruity hoppy nose. Moderate malty, heavy hoppy, citrusy fruity and mild spicy with notes of alcohol and moderate bitterness in the finish. Nice and pleasant IPA but 6.50€ is highly too much.

Presented this at the Craft Room in Zagreb. On tap. Red-amber body with a white head. Heavy sweet malty aroma, dried fruit, rock candy... nooooo. Taste, yup, more of the same, crystal malt owning the place, green fruit, caramel, the hoppy notes concentrating mostly in the actually quality, notable bitter finish. This is slightly heavier than it should be. Some random hoppy notes, herbal for example, vaguely citric, do show up for seconds before being washed away. You could never say there are 19 hop sorts in here, maybe one or two, mainly bittering, judging from the samples. And that’s a good thing in one way, but man, if you’re doing a gimmick like that make a beer hop forward. This most definitely wasn’t. One of "those" IPAs by Mikkeller - capable of making brilliant pale ales, and yet...

Clear, copper-amber colored, medium white frothy head, good lasting. Aroma is of some caramel malt, crystal, fruity-pine-floral-citrus mix of hops, bit resiny. Taste is medium+ sweet caramel malt, bit biscuit, strong fruity and tropical hops, some citrus and floral, bit spicy, medium+ bitterness, dry finish, lasting aftertaste. Medium+ bodied, soft carbonation, resiny. Sweet fruity mix, got to say I expected more. (on tap, Craft Room, Zagreb)
