Mikkeller 1000 IBU is an American Double IPA from Copenhagen-based brewery Mikkeller, hitting 9.6% ABV with uncompromising hop intensity. The aroma is bold and assertive, dominated by grapefruit, pine resin and citrus notes that announce the beer's aggressive character from the first sniff.

On the palate, sweet malt—caramel and brown sugar—provides ballast against a sharp, dry bitterness. Grapefruit, lemon zest and orange peel drive the hop profile, supported by a medium to full body that doesn't shy away from alcohol warmth. The finish is dry and lingering, with a persistent bitter edge that defines the entire experience.
