Running Club

Brewery: Mikkeller
Supplier: Beer52

The final Mikkeller from the Mikkeller box (but I've still got the two other Scandi beers from the box), this being another pale ale. I'm fairly sure that this was brewed for the Mikkeller running clubs around the world, which is exactly what it sounds like, clubs that go running together. I served this chilled.
Appearance: A reasonable bright yellow colour, slightly opaque. The head is a pure white that thins down to only a couple of bubbles.
Aroma: Fresh but funky peach with a little lemon rind.
Flavour: A slight hint of peach on the front, then lots of lemon, running into a little bit of mandarin. 
Body: Quite light, and the fizz is a bit too much; but goes reasonably well with the style.
Aftertaste: This is not as nice as it's a bit like a tangy, watered down orange juice.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, a drinkable pale ale, but that's about it.

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, about right, but I wouldn't choose it again.

Food Pairings: The tangy, bitter lemon I think would go well with sweet chili/BBQ chicken.
