Tap at Hopa, 13.5% ABV version, and supposedly with Citra&Simcoe. Clear pale golden pour, no head. Nose is big citric character, citrus zest and lemon with the obvious honey. Taste is honey sweetness, definite but not overwhelming, light hoppy bitterness, big citrus punch with some lemon zest. Closes with warming sweet finish with a citric hint, has a medium body and drinks well below the ABV.

Pours a slight hazed, white wine like pale yellow. Scent is intense, lemon zest. hops are more hidden than the Jucious Ceasar, which was citrussy as well, but less lemon zesty, obviously. Taste is fiarly thick, medium intense sweetness. natural honey, quite strong towards the finish. hop is milder, some lemon towards the end. funky, full, intense finish of rough honey. Good, but not crazy balances like Juicious ceasar is.

Bottle @Mikkeller Warsaw farewell. Pale and extra clear honey color with no foam. Nose: lime, lemon zest infused in hot water, mint. Mouth: sweet honey, sweet mouthfeel is pretty much balanced by the lemony overall which turns into a mint feel, a bit tea-like. Charming.

Taster thanks to Lukasmh! Cheers buddy. Pours clear pale yellow, still. Aroma has lots of sweet honey, grapefruit, orange, citrus, light hoppy, floral. Taste is bitter, sweet honey, grapefruit, grapes, vanilla, light caramel, floral and grassy finish. Hoppy meads doesn’t work for me that well it seems.

Herbal and hop leaf. Clear pale gold. Light herbal honey and sweetness. Green leaf and some bready notes throughout, not sure the hopping really works that well.
