An India Pale Ale, Hair in the Mailbox is bright and hoppy at 6.3% ABV. Color is hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma blends notes of malt, honey, tropical and citrus fruits, light floral tones and lemon zest. The palate is bursting with a blend of orange and pineapple from the hops and warm notes of pine. Body is medium with soft carbonation and both sweet and spicy. Finish is both dry and bitter with light resin and biscuit notes. Easy drinking and great for pairing with burgers or other greasy foods.

330ml can from Mikkeller Beer Club. Smooth, sweetish and slightly fruity IPA with some grassy and citrusy notes. Okay, quite generic sweetish IPA.

Burk från Mikkeller Beer Club:
En ganska medioker IPA med en vass och sträv beska. Känns inte som en IPA utan mer som en felbalanserad "bärs".

van de appie, gouden met witte kraag. aroma van citrus, ui, knoflook, hop, mout, fruitig. Smaken mout, tarwe, redelijke co2, dun, zeepsopachtige citrus grasachtige stro/hooi kruidigheid, nee dit is een mix van allemaal net niet, matig zoet, zwak tot matig bitter.

330 ml can from MBC, bb 16/01/19.
Dark golden, clear body, with a big, stable, fluffy, lacing, white head.
Aroma of grapefruit, flowers, lingering pine, passion fruit flesh, orange, some biscuit, slight bubblegum.
Tastes similar, with some more herbal notes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, moderate dry, a bit sweet, zesty, herbal, fruity, piney, citric.

Nice one. Straight, old-school West Coast IPA, with nice fruit notes and a biscuity backbone. Nothing outstanding, but fresh and crisp to drink.
