Mikkeller Wet Hop Kellerbier

Here we go again ..

This is supposed to be a wet hopped version of a cellar beer, which can apparently be either top or bottom fermented and thus take on varying characteristics in line with an ale or a lager.

This takes on most of the characteristics of a bad pilsner to me. Weak head, sour citrus nose, 5.5%, transparent and bubbly, big lager taste, very fizzy. While I'm not closely familiar with this style (is anybody?), the other kellerbier effort tasted was far and away better than this with a unique character and a pleasing, if polarising, graininess.

This is barely better than a macro Any Beer. 1.5
