The Bivouac BIPA has a bold hop presence with notes of resin, pine, orange and grapefruit citrus that coats the palate. Dark malts give the Bivouac a blast of coffee and roast that is not harsh, but compliments the hop profile and finishes dry. At 8.9% ABV, there is some alcohol heat that warms nicely but is not overpowering.

35cl blik van Beer Republic. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Grapefruit, tabak, salmiak, hint van drop, gebrand, bitter. Medium bodied, maar toch iets dun voor bijna 9%. Wel smaakvol genoeg.

Can. Very dark brown with no light penetration. Tan head that's four fingers high. Aroma is grapefriuit with chocolate in the background. Taste is hoppy, grapefruit with slight sweetness in the middle and chocolate hop finish.

Überraschend fruchtig in der Nase, Schaum bricht schnell weg. Im Trunk erst fruchtig, dann harzig, alkoholisch, spät bitter und röstig. Interessant.

Can at BRACT #1. Thin body, med-high carbonation. High bitterness, a bit unpleasant so, bordering with light sourness/astringency. Shitloads of piney, zesty, grassy flavour, initially there was moderate ashy roastiness, but it somehow slowly disappeared over time. Overall a bit hard to drink, a bit harsh. ABV hidden well at least though. Goodish.

Beer Republic Advent Calendar- tasting_No 1. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate, citrus hops. Taste starts chocolatey, followed by roasted malt, espresso, citrus hops. Could be more hoppy for the style, but as beer is tasty.

Würziger, röstig bitterer Hopfenbeginn. Spritzig, grasig-hopfig, trocken, sowohl Hopfen als auch Bitterkeit nehmen zu. Süffig, weich, Noten von Schokolade, vollmundig. Langer cremig hopfig-malziger Abgang, intensiv, röstig. Lecker! 9/12/12/12//12
