Another from the Mikkeller box, and this is their Gluten Free IPA - and self-proclaimed worlds first gluten free beer (though I'm a bit dubious about that). Apart from that, there isn't much else about it. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A burnt gold colour turning a deep amber when held to the light. The head is a reasonably thick off white that starts to thin quick, but maintains a reasonable amount.
Aroma: Sweet and spicy hop resin notes, airing more on the spicy side. It's subtle, but very nice.
Flavour: Not h huge amount, but there is initially a mint-like freshness from the bitterness of the hops.
Body: Really full bodied and exceptionally smooth. The carbonation is just right.
Aftertaste: You get some malt from the with a slight lemon tang from the hops.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, it mainly get the score from the exceptional body that transforms this drinkable IPA.
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, a fantastic price for a really refreshing and drinkable beer.
Food Pairings: It's quite full bodied so it would go better with something simple. I would suggest stir-fried rice, with some soy sauce the saltiness would complement it well.
