Mikkeller Koppi is an American IPA where coffee and hops complement rather than compete. The Danish brewery crafted this version with Citra hops and Wachuri coffee beans, balancing fruity citrus hop character with the roasted bitterness of coffee. At 7.2% ABV, it drinks lighter than a typical coffee IPA, making it approachable without sacrificing complexity.

The nose shows citrus and fruity hop notes with subtle coffee undertones. On the palate, hop character leads—lemon and floral—while coffee provides structure and dry bitterness. The finish is clean and dry, with coffee flavour emerging as the beer warms. This is a refined experiment rather than a heavy coffee showcase, rewarding sips that explore how two intense ingredients can enhance each other.
