Brewing an American IPA, but with a Belgian twist...that's the idea behind Amer-Amer. We chose two American varieties of hops, but only use whole hop flowers cultivated in Belgium.
Taste: The 'Belgo-American' hops have a better balance in flavour and a less aggressive bitterness, without losing taste or intensity. Dry hopping with Cascade enforces the beer's rich aroma.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Beautiful Beers. Pours clear honey-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Lightly sweet flavour, sun-kissed bread crusts, dry yeast, citrus peel, some grass, straw. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more grass, light pine, yeast, biscuits, dried-out honey. Sound.

Bottle - huge thanks Nino and Casey for sharing! Full, clear golden body, whtie head. Flowery, spicy hoppy aromas, vaaague socks, or it least it seemed so, but other than that, nice. Flowery taste going bitter, but on a soft, mellow body. Not the definition of a Belgian IPA perhaps, but on the other hand, yeah, why not. It's a nice little beer.

33cl Fles van Drankgigant. Amber kleur, witte kraag. Typisch De Ranke moutprofiel, zacht, bloemig, fors bitter, licht zepig, licht geparfumeerd, wat citrus, heerlijke mout- én hopbittere finish. Lichte tot medium body. Wat een superbieren maakt deze brouwerij toch.

Noe tåkete brun farge med hvitt skum. Lukter malt, humle og litt fruktig. Noe sitrus og grape i smak. Lett bitter avslutning.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden woth stable off-white head. Clear aroma of hops and flowers, with estery notes and touches of malt. Bitter, hoppy flavour with estery and malty touches and floral hints. Lingering bitter aftertaste with estery touches and hints of fruit and flowers. Decent. I had expected a more C-hoppy taste, given the style.

Bottle, 6%. Refreshing fruity and sweetish hop aroma. Cloudy light amber colour. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour is quite bitter. Not balanced very much by maltiness or sweetness. Yeasty finish. Good mouthfeel. Much more Belgian than American.
