We're happy to re-introduce Jester King / Mikkeller Drink'in the Sunbelt -- Hoppy Wheat Beer!
Originally brewed in 2011, we decided to bring it back this summer. Drink'in the Sunbelt is a riff on Mikkeller's Drink'in the Sun. The 2020 beer is brewed with
Blacklands Malt Silver Star Two Row, malted and flaked wheat, and flaked oats. Kettle hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe, then dry-hopped with more Amarillo and Simcoe, and Citra cryo. Fermented with Hornindal Kviek yeast. Packaged in 16oz. cans on August 27th. 5.3% ABV.

Bottle, 75cl. A huge, fluffy, off-white head forms over a lightly unclear, golden body. The aroma is very citrusy, with grass, some malts and hints of spices and tropical fruits. The flavor is on the fruity side, tropical fruitys mostly, with notes of the white part of orange peel, and a nce bitterness. Full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. Pleasant bitterness in the end. A tasteful and easy drinkable beer. 120413

Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of 77ships. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme fruité, houblonné, malt léger. Palais, légèrement houblonné, note citronnée avec une touche de douceur/sucre. Le point fort ressort des houblons qui viennent donner une belle dimension fruitée à cette bière la rendant facile d’accès. Note de grains/froment avec une fine finde bouche assez sèche. Légère et facile à boire avec ce bon profile grains de froment.

Towering, dense, fine, lightly yellowish head, reducing itself to fluffy eggwhite over veiled orange beer. Very aromatic, citrussy & resiny hops in force. Yet also garden herbs/weeds and lunaria; rosewater for the sweeter streak and rainwater. Very refreshing; hops, exotic fruit, citrus, rosewater, all diluted with rainwater. Easy drinking indeed. Light, refreshing; faint, but aromatic aftertaste. Very good session beer: mission accomplished.

Slightly hazy golden colour, white head, big bubbles. Aroma of American hops, sweet malt, peach, some sweets (zuurtjes). Bitter flavour, hoppy, light sweet malt, light sour touch. Hefty carbonation. Bitter finish.
Very nice beer, bit too much carbo though.
(From 75cl bottle @ ZZT IV. 4.2% ABV Thanks for sharing, Benzai & DutchDrebus!)
