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.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices, fruits, and flowers. The flavor is sweet with notes of phenols, malt, fruits, and flowers, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish. The body is light.

On tap at MikkellerBar, thanks for sharing Plovmand! Hazy orange colour, white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, pineapple, melon, a bit cloying, leaves, a bit English style. Flavour is cloying fruits, melon and pineapple, citrus bitter finish, light grainy. Light bodied. Not to my taste.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks beerandbeyond. Hazy golden with a big frothy white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma with lots of citrus, flowers and tropical fruits notes. Hoppy grapefruity flavor with some tropical fruits, mild bitterness and some wheaty fruitiness with some sweetness. Fluffy wheat mouthfeel. Very tasty and quaffable.

Bottle. Poured a hazy a pale yellow with a white head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had a good amount of citrus with some light but sweet wheat, banana and a hint of tropical fruits. Flavor begins with a decent amount of citrus but transitions in to a sweet wheat and tropical fruits. A nice easy drinking beer.
