Supplier: Beer52
Another offer from Beer52; this was their Mikkeller box which had mostly Mikkeller beer plus a couple of other Scandi ones, so expect to see these up coming. Just a recap, Mikkeller is a legendary brewery and this is one of their many IPAs, a West Coast style IPA. But apart from that, they don't say anything else about it, so I'll get to drinking it. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A dark gold with a little amber, slightly merky. The heead is a slightly off white, thick at first but thins quickly to a thin layer of large bubbles.
Aroma: Sweet resin, with a little bit of candied pineapple.
Flavour: A hint of the hop resin from the nose in the front, followed by that flour like note with a little of the herbal hop notes. You get a hint of malt when it flows over your tounge.
Body: Quite thick for an IPA, not really as refreshing as it should be.
Aftertaste: A lingering of the matly notes followed by a really dry herbal note.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a nice IPA, but nothing much and has a mediocre aftertaste. Not what I would expect from Mikkeller.
Price Range: This time I got a box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle,this is a decent price but I wouldn't go for it often even if you could get it for this price regularly.
Food Pairings: A salty meat to go with the bitter hop notes. Maybe something like jerked meat.
