Mikkeller Mikkelerberger American Pale Ale at 5.2% ABV (C$5.80 at Sherbrooke Liquor, 330 ml, best before 13-Jul-2017, acquired 17-Dec-2016, reviewed 17-Jun-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with three fingers of loose off-white head, excellent retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild, citrus, doughy wheat, pine, floral and green leaves. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (3/5)
I guess I’ve got to damn this with faint praise: it’s not bad. It’s a bit muddled, and busy, and lacking focus, but it’s not bad. Don’t get me wrong: I’ll always drink anything Mikkeller brews – but I wouldn’t necessarily go looking for this one again. (13/20)
