Mikkeller
Ode to a Cascade hop
Reviewed by MT
6.9% ABV
Info: Ok, I need to start this by thanking Rich from http://www.mybrewerytap.com/ who supplied me with this lovely Mikkeller brew! It was all part of a beer swap where I got the better end of the deal.
Just a note to say that mybrewerytap is a great site if you want to try a whole range of different real ale from all around the UK. Check it out!
Colour: A pure copper, clear with a frothy off-white head.
Nose: A healthy fragrant hop aroma! There’s just a slight spiciness to it and you have light hints grapefruit and caramel.
Taste: Deliciously floral! Feels deceptively light but there’s a growing bitterness that seems to increase on the aftertaste.
Overall Experience: Mikkeller let you know what this is all about from the get-go. Cascade hops. I think they really get the best out of this particular hop variety. It starts out as an innocent and almost light beer, fills your mouth with that floral hop flavour and then crescendo’s into a heavy handed hop smash!
It’s a mighty brew from Mikkeller and definitely worthy of recommendation!
