Day 185-Beer 185 Mosaic Mikkeller Imperial India Pale Ale, De Proef Brouwirij, Lochristi Hijfte, Belgium

Tonight's is a strong brew at 8.9% ABV. It poured a hazy golden/amber colour almost apricot, with decent sticky head that left some nice lacing. There is lots of aroma from this beer,   grapefruit, tangerine, caramel malt, bread yeast, and alcohol. The taste is bitter grapefruit up front with background of tropical fruits, mango and pineapple, honey and caramel. The alcohol is not as pronounce as it is in the aroma but it does give the back of the throat a little burn. It finishes very nicely, smooth, dry and just enough lingering bitterness. Overall a very good IPA, its not cheap but its worth the try, 3.9 out of 5.
