De Tankard , een Session Ale van 3.9% maar zwaar gedryhopt met Amarillo, Centennial en Cascade hop. Het bier oogt mooi troebel hierdoor. De geur is geweldig, net of je een hopboeket ruikt, bloemig, citrus, grapefruit, mandarijn en dennen (pine). Erg prettig voor een mooie zomerse dag. Je verwacht in de smaak ook een enorme hopknaller, maar dat valt gelukkig mee: het is natuurlijk ook een lichte Session Ale. Het bier drinkt heerlijk weg maar de smaak blijft mooi in de mond hangen, maar niet vervelend. Gewoon lekker!

Sampled draft @ Oersoep Craft Beer Festival 2015. Milky golden, big white head. Nose is milky yeast, mineral, fruity, mellow hops & touch yoghurt. Taste is milky, fruity, lightly floral, fruity, touch exotic fruity. Yeasty body. Nice but too heavy like many Session IPA’s in my opinion.

Hazy yellow colour with thick creamy head. Fresh malts in the aroma and flavour. Light, fruity bitterness in the finish. Very smooth and creamy texture.

Re-rate @ weekly tasting, shared with Dutchdrebus. Got a bottle from the brewer who asked me to re-rate this beer, as I had clearly purchased a bad bottle. Really appreciate the gesture. I’ve had brewers emailing me basically yelling and demanding that I would remove my rating because their beer wasn’t bad at all. But when I replied "sure, send me a bottle" they got furious. How on earth did I dare to ask that? Uh ok, maybe because you sold me the bad one in the first place? Anyway, I am very pleased with how this brewer handled it. Always respectful and cooperative, not demanding anything just a polite request. Bonus points for that I’d almost say. But hey, here we go. Hazy yellow to orange color, average to medium sized white to off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, nicely hoppy with some tropical fruit in there. Taste lightly malts, lightly hops, a slightly weird touch of red fruit in the distance. Get that in the aroma too now that the beer has warmed up a bit. A slight perfumy hint as well. Body is ok for a session IPA, carbonation is soft yet suitable. Way better than last time, so thanks for the chance to re-rate, but there is still room for improvement. [Bottle @ home. Clear amber color, medium sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair lacing. Aroma is weird: like some artificial strawberry juice, very strong sweetness. Taste fortunately has less of the artificial strawberry but still isn’t very good. I have no idea what caused this. It is supposed to be a hoppy session ale right? Well it might be a session ale, but it is an artificial sweet fruit beer. I drainpoured it. Original rating: 3-3-4-2-7=1.9]

3(30)ml bottle. Clear, dark copper colour with average to huge, thick, firm, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Funky, bretty aroma, typical Hubba Bubba bubblegum notes, some caramel malt, very cautious, fruity hoppy overtones with a touch of mandarine and orange. Taste is slighty sweet caramel malty, minimally bitter hoppy overtones, some resin, mild, dry, bretty notes. This seems to be one of the luckiest infections in the history of brewing.

Bottle from Biermoment, dated 06 Aug 2014, large sample, served in an Oersoep tulip. Slight hazy amber to copper color, big frothy off-white head. Aroma is grassy, grapefruit, funky Brett (infection?), flowery, bit barnyard, bubblegum. Slight sweet taste, citrussy bitterness, bit funky again. Quite dry, but with a slight sweet tooth. Medium to high carbonation, thin to medium body. I dont think the Brett is supposed to be there, but as Im a big fan of Brett, it reminds me of the Oersoep en garde series, especially in flavor, which I absolutely love. Aroma is a bit unbalanced now however.

Brewda . Pours unclear amber , No real head . Smell is funky , herbal/vegetable . taste is bitter , grainy , herbal and perfumy . With all due respect for the brewer - who is a really nice guy - I honoustly do not like this beer ... I guess anything with a vegetable taste will never score higher than 3/5 for me anyways ... Intense taste for the ABV though .
