Millennium is brew number 1000 from 8 Degrees brewing company, and comes in a celebratory gold-labelled bottle.

It pours orange, with an off-white head, and has a very pungent pineapple aroma. The flavour is predominantly a mandarin orange, with a steady bitterness the whole way through.

Final Impressions:

I think that this beer might be more accessible at 7.5%, although that is likely the point. Reducing the amount any one person will drink will give it a broader penetration into the market, so the celebration is witnessed.

The nature of the beer – orange in both colour and flavour in spite of many moving parts, along with a millennial ABV of 10.00% – demonstrates once more 8 Degrees Brewing’s wit and technical prowess.
