The last non-Mikkeller beer from the Mikkeller box, this one still being from Denmark. This is part of their core range, being a base for other variants. It's a sessionable IPA with lots of one of my favourite hops - Mosaic. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A golden straw colour when held to the light, slightly opaque. The head is reasonable thick, long lasting, and pure white.
Aroma: Lots of sugar, citrus and a hint of sweet semi-artificial cherry.
Flavour: Some citrus and mango hop notes, with some more savoury grass notes.
Body: Quite thick for a IPA, and doesn't get too syrupy like other. Still reasonably refreshing though.
Aftertaste: More bitterness from the hops comes through here, more of a dry bitterness.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, it has some nice points but it doesn't come together quite well and has a bit too much bitterness.
Price Range: The last from the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle, not a bad price, but I wouldn't choose to buy it again.
Food Pairings: Roasted pork; the slight citrus and mango will pair well, the light notes of the pork won't overpower the light flavours in it, and the fats will cut through the thickness.
