This is one of Mikkellers more frequent ales, it's a gluten free version of their American style Pale ale - with a gluten content of less than 20ppm. I served this chilled.

Appearance: Golden, with a hint of amber, and cloudy that you can just make out your fingers behind the glass. The head is a medium crisp white one that last throughout.
Aroma: Loads of lychee coupled with hop resin and citrus.
Flavour: Orange on the front followed by lots of lychee hop notes. The malt body is very faint but you can definitely get some more cereal, rather than malt, notes underneath.
Body: Refreshing on the front but then quite thick at the back, odd but works quite well.
Aftertaste: Orange rind, mango, and raspberries. There is also a little, but not unpleasant, bit of soapiness from the hops. Some peach notes come about towards then end also.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, but very close to a 7, it's got some good but common hop notes and it is a nice substantial beer for quite a low ABV.
Price Range: Part of the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle, but I think it costs a lot more than that usually; definitely worth the price I paid, but maybe not worth the prices Mikkeller beers usually sell for as it's not quite at Mikkeller's usual excellent standard.
Food Pairings: Something with lots of subtle intermingling flavours like a medley of grilled vegetables, or a BBQ'd veggie burger.
