Henry Jagger

Brewery: Mikkeller
Supplier: Beer52

Another from the Mikkeller box, this is a low alcohol pale ale at only 2.2% ABV. Like all the Mikkeller beers this also has very little info about it. Don't know the significance of the name, and if there's a relation to Mick Jagger. I served this chilled.  
Appearance: Amber, and slightly opaque. The head is a slightly off-white colour and is a medium thickness with quite a substance behind it. 
Aroma: A sour mix of tart oranges and a little hop resin.
Flavour: Really faint, but much like the tart orange note of the nose.
Body: Reasonably refreshing, but surprisingly full bodied, especually for something so low alcohol. Drys out in the back.
Aftertaste: This is where you get a bit more of the hop notes, coupled with a strong cereal note and a little hoppy bitterness.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, refreshing and really easy to drink, great for someone driving.

Price Range: Another from the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle, this is about right, something you could drink a few of easily, especially if you need to keep sober.

Food Pairings: I'm going to say sweet potato fried, the sweetness going well with the dry, bitter back.
