1751 Mikkeller Stateside India Pale Ale Denmark IPA 4.3

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

500ml bottle <br> 7.0% ABV <br> I tried this beer on September 4, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured an orange-brown colour with a generous tan coloured head that laced very well down the glass. The aroma was pine and floral in nature indicating ample hoppiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was definitely hoppy with grapefruit and citrus tones in abundance. If it wasn't for price, I would certainly try this beer again.
