[Thank you David!][650 ml. bottle sampled @ Boxing Day Tasting] This one tasted like something that Palm, Leffe or Grimbergen would release, really sub par, this is my first Mikkeller San Diego beer & it is pretty rubbish to be honnest, really below norm. This was the only beer dumped at the tasting. Pours totally clear golden, oddly clear, brief white bubbles, head doesn’t last. Basically totally clear with no head. Nose is soap, grain, cheap chemical Belgian style green apples, poor esters, green,weak, mineral. Taste is poor, wattery poor Belgian green apple esters, thin, big soap, chemcial, esters, plastic, grain, dead, industrial in a way, soapy, unpleasant esters, close to being vaguely phenolic. Watery body, green apple. Very sub par. Bleh.
