    So, thoughts about that?

    I just bought one and wondering should I age it a bit (brett) or dring fresh, because it is still IPA.

    I have the same thoughts, I bought the Invasion IPA and The Bitter Monk.

    Yeah, I have that one too.

    Bitter Monk ages quite well, at least up to a year. The aroma hops fade, but the bittering hops really don't, and they blend well with the amped-up funk and ever-drier mouth feel from giving brett more time to do its thing.

    No idea on Mikkeller Invasion. In theory, it should work similarly, but I think it's an inferior beer to begin with, so I don't know its long-term prospects.

    Mikkeller Invasion was very hoppy when I had it so I would drink it now. Lots of brett came through in the taste and it smelled like dirty socks, I loved it!

    Drink it now, if you like it enough buy some more and see what it does in 6 months.

    Thanks a lot for replies!

    I certain love brett and also like hops a lot, so I have quite high exceptations. I have also liked a lot other Anchorage beers.

    I just put Invasion to mu fridge. I was really expensive, so probably I won't buy more, even I would like it.
