A full-bodied, full on Double I.P.A. combining caramel and malt flavours with a well-balanced and substantial bitterness. Light carbonation allows the full flavour of this Double IPA to shine through. At 7.5% abv, the high alcohol content is balanced with a caramel sweetness and a full bodied malt character.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Beers of Europe. Golden brown, clear with a large and short-lived off-white head leaving lacing down the glass. Light aroma of bright orange, pine, a little bit of toffee. Bitter taste, with piney and citrus hop oils lining the back of the throat. It's not impossibly bitter by any means but it's a change from the super-sweet NEIPAs we've all gotten used to.notes of orange peel and tea in the aftertaste. Medium body and carbonation. Impressive.

Clear golden colour with thin lacy head. Aroma and flavour have earthy hop notes. There's a resinous sweetness in the background.

50cl Blik van Landmarkt Ranzijn. Oranjegouden kleur, witte kraag. Zoet, moutig, wat caramel, harsig, oldskool, sinaasappelmarmelade, bitter. Medium body. Iets te zoet maar zeker niet verkeerd.

Blik thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van hop en dennen. De smaak is vol hoppig, bitter en harsig.

Thin spotty head on a boring looking lager coloured body. Mango pine & exotic fruits aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a tingle on the back. Melon, malt, pine & pithy citrus tastes. All a bit limp.
