About this release

West Coast IPA brewed with Simcoe, Taiheke and Riwaka hop varieties. This clear and dry IPA offers layered flavors of pine resin, grapefruit, lime leaf and a hint of tropical fruit. Brewed on a light malt base with rice flakes and dextrose for a dry and crispy finish. Bitter, piney and absolutely on point. Forest Friends comes from the kitchens of Mikkeller, the world-renowned Danish gypsy brewery of Mikkel Borg Bjergsø. Without its own brewery but with a huge network of partners worldwide, Mikkeller repeatedly creates unique and boundary-pushing beers that illustrate their quest for innovation and quality. With a fine 6.0% ABV, this 440ml West Coast IPA is a cheerful, refined pint you won't soon forget. The combination of three American and New Zealand hop varieties creates a complex aroma profile with that characteristic piney bitterness that true IPA lovers crave. The citrusy notes of grapefruit and lime leaf play beautifully off each other, while the tropical element remains subtly present in the background. This is an IPA for those who appreciate something with a narrow shoulder. Perfect if you fancy something bitter and fresh, without it becoming overwhelming. A beer that drinks like a true West Coaster, despite coming from Europe. With an Untappd rating of 3.94 out of 5 stars, Forest Friends proves that Mikkeller can also fulfill its ambitions far from home.
