Burk från Mikkeller Beer Club:
Gulgrumlig med stort skum. Fruktig doft med passionsfrukt, lime och apelsin. Humlig smak av tallbarr, grapefruktskal och mango. Stor beska. God men nästan lite vass.

440ml can from Mikkeller Beer Club. Canned 07/09/18. Pours hazy cloudy yellowish with a thick foamy head. Aroma of juicy citrusy hops, vinous tropical fruits, pine, grape, hay and grass. Taste is fresh tropical fruity, vinous grapey and juicy with loads of pine, citrus, herbal notes, grass, loads of hops and hints of dankness. Finish is massively hoppy and tropical fruity with some grape, citrus, pine, grass, hay and herbal notes. Pretty nice, juicy and hoppy NE DIPA.

440 ml can from MBC, pkg 07/09/18.
Orange, hazy body, with a medium, frothy, yellowish head.
Aroma of pine needles, citrus, passion fruit flesh, guava, grapes, apricot juice, dankness, cereals, some earth, some minerals.
Tastes delicious, with similar aromas and a lovely oiliness to it.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium dry, moderate bitter, a bit sweet, mineralic, hop-oily, spicy, a bit resinous, with lots of pine needles again, moderate juicy tropical fruits, some grapes, some cereals.
Delicious! Very quaffable, with a lovely oiliness to it and a great balance, the ABV is completely hidden. I especially like that this isn't just about the juicy fruits, but also super-crisp, spicy pine notes throughout and a cereal-like backbone, giving this a lot of depth. An outstanding, characterful example between all those similar hazy IPAs!
Score: 8 / 4 / 9 / 5 / 17

Can at home, 13th October 18. Pours a slight hazy straw colour. Aroma is amazing, so much grapefruit, pineapple. Taste is grapefruit, bitter and sweet, some spruce, a little tart, more resinous grapefruit. So drinkable. Exceptional DIPA.

(On tap @ Mikkeller CPH Airport, Oct 7/18) Pours very hazy gold with a small white head. Notes of mango, ripe papaya, orange, grapefruit flesh, touch of pineapple, quite juicy, malt body is present and a touch bready but not dominant and mid-sweet, some dank weed/pine character pops up towards the finish, bringing light bitterness but letting the fruit ride out, touch of powdery grains maybe. No alcohol. Smooth at least medium body, a little oily, softly carbonated. Well-balanced, good judgement on both the hop and grain bills, maybe lacking a spark but it's a very solid NE style DIPA.

Can. Very hazy gold beer, small cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, sweetish. Fair dose of hop skunk here, soft but strong. Little pine. Decent tropical fruits and a whisper of hop spice. Light finish leaves a mild bitter linger. So nearly a cracker, there is good hop fruits here but the skunk dominates it somewhat. Still a very good dipa.
