Mikkeller The Canadian Dream

When Jeff has to travel to Denmark for work, he will search out a Mikkeller beer. So when The Canadian Dream arrived in the LCBO, he had to get it.

(OK, let's be honest, it's a new-to-the-LCBO craft beer - he would have gotten it if it wasn't Mikkeller ...)

The pilsener is renamed depending on what country it's in - in Denmark it's the Danish Dream, in the U.S., it's the American Dream. Whether the recipe varies, we're not sure.

The LCBO says it's 5.5% abv., Beer Advocate says it's 4.6%.

"The smell and taste have a lot more in common with an American IPA than a Czech pilsener. It's super hop forward and I get more pine and citrus as opposed to grassy and spicy hops," Jeff said.

"It's not bad - but I much prefer Mikkeller's Draft Bear Imperial Pilsener. Unfortunately, I've never found it outside of Denmark."
