Tap@Mikkeller Vik, (Mystic TTO) - pours a hazy orange colour with a white head. Deep juicy fruity tropical medley offered, medium body, solid hoppy finish. Lovely.

Draught at 5 Horses, South End, 7/17/18. Peach-apricot colored and cloudy with a small, off-white head fading steadily to a ring. Very malty up front, kind of oddly-so. Pine, grapefruit, bread, sourdough...lots of twang and tang, basically. Malts continue to pile on, giving a borderline oxidized character. In the mouth it's bitter, with resin and sharp pineapple and sweet, cakey, mushy malts. More pine and grapefruit and not a whole lot to find enjoyable here. Thick, rich textures and low, somewhat underwhelming carbonation. 6/4/6/3/11
Draft at the brewery, 12/26/18.
No idea why this was vastly different but it was. Still a fairly thick texture to it, but none of the twang and tang. Maybe this is more aged? Not really sure, probably it's just better brewed, dialed in since last time trying. Pretty understated with still some pine and lime, but no sharp resin or real edge to it, with juicy citrus and light mango-pineapple. Good balance, attenuation, carbonation and a malty texture.

16 oz can shared by Chalumeaux. Aroma shows candied grapefruit, herbal, and pine notes. Flavor is a tad sweeter than I was wanting. Not caramel but... Sweet orange, sweet honey, mild touches of pine. Almost no bitterness. Lean's on the sweet side. Lupulin gives it a chalky, gritty mouthfeel for me. Definitely not my favorite from this brewery but not all bad.

Pours a hazy, bright orange-yellow, with minimal head. Aroma of rotting tropical fruit, sour washcloth, basement dankness. Flavor is tropical and citrus fruit. a slight sweetness but not overpowering, and a touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Just about perfect.
