47cl Blik van Drankgigant. Aan de laatste ratings te zien fors over datum. Mega-gusher. Wat overbleef was troebel goudgeel, witte kraag. Mout, bloemig, grassig, ruikt zeer veelbelovend, cakebeslag, smaak volgt maar er zit een berg dood gist in, wat het geheel een lichte plasticsmaak meegeeft. In potentie erg goed, nu niet meer dan OK.

Can @ Mikkeller, Odense. Enjoyed during Spain-Iran with Hallighansen, World Cup, 2018. Pours dark golden with a white head. Slight yeasty cement notes and very grassy and dry. Smooth with a bitter finish. Waauw!

Beautiful day to go drink in the park... Mikkeller San Diego Building Blocks Zwickelbier 5.4% Cloudy straw gold with a soapy head of rocky foam. The aroma is herbal and green hops with fresh hay/straw. Medium bodied with a semi-dry finish. The taste is more bitter than I expected with that grassy herbal character but there’s also crackery straw/hay malt notes. Pretty good.

16 ounce can into lager glass; no can dating, but was just released locally. Bit of a gusher can. Pours fairly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Amazing appearance. Aromas of big lemon, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of pale malts and citrus/earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big lemon, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, zesty, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of pale malts and citrus/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins through the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is an outstanding Kellerbier. All around awesome robustness and balance of pale malts and citrus/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish; no overly aggressive. Awesome clean pils malt showcase, with perfect noble hop presence/balance. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. A little more bitter/hoppy than I expected, but not overdone.

On tap at Mikkeller Little Italy, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle grassy and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright, with grassy hops, a herbaceous crunch, and crisp crackery malt. Bright and well-balanced. Very good.
