Hazy brown. Aroma is caramel bonbon malt very light herbal touch. Taste is medium sweet dark malt with little roast and some bitter hops. Mouthfeel strangely is pretty watery. Not very impressive.

Bruin bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is bitter lichtzoet met iets van chocolade en wat pruimen. Gewoon goed.

From the brewery, it was muddled and hazy and just not a sharp clean bock like in germany. Oedipus ams

Fles 33cl thuis gedeeld. Flink caramel, zoet, wat hazelnoot, maltig, chocoladetonen, aardtonen, ergens lichte citrustoets. (8-11-2020).

One of the driving forces behind the Dutch craft beer revolution of the past ten to fifteen years, Oedipus in northern Amsterdam (established in 2012), has been sold to Heineken in the meantime – and this is my first Oedipus beer since that takeover. Thanks to Craftmember for sharing. Papery lacing, mousy, yellowish pale beige, stable, dense head on a misty caramel-brown beer with ruddy-mahogany hue. Aroma of ground hazelnuts, burnt brown sugar, caramel, indeed a whiff of dry old Madeleine cookies, dried fig, almond, baked banana, nutmeg, apple peel, bayleaf. Sweetish onset, fig, raisin and medlar hints, medium carbonated; somewhat thinnish body for the style, but rounded, slick and smooth. Hard-caramelly and dry-cereally core with a thin brown bread edge from the yeast, ending with a phenolic, very herbal spiciness, tea-like almost, but remaining light in bitterness, while the caramel and dry cookie effect remains in place. Correctly made for a Dutch top-fermenting Bock, but frankly a bit boring, in contrast to the dozens of innovative beers they made in the past – I cannot help but wonder if Heineken does have a hand in this?

Moutig, karamel, wat chocolade, bittertje, iets zoet, smaakvol, ok spul

Wel lekker. Zoetig, moutig, een beetje chocolade ook wel. Wat je verwacht en dan met een kleine positieve verrassing.
