What if you put a good amount of blueberries and cassis flavored hops together in a full-bodied NEIPA? Dry hopping with Bullion, BarbeRouche and Styrian Kolibri creates the unmistakable aromas of cassis and forest fruits. In addition, the light sweetness of the blueberry provides a mild bitterness with a soft, smoothie-like aftertaste.

Bottle at home, couetesy of Marko. Purpleish pour with a thin head. Nose is a nice enough mix of the berries and some citric, somewhat earthy, fruity hops. Taste is big berry boom, almos nothing else, it’s tartish, slightly acidic, dry with a mediun bitterness. This is a hoppy fruit beer at best, but not a NEIPA.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Kulenborgse Bierhandel. Hazy purple with a very thin white head. Blackberry and blueberry aroma. Sweet taste with a fruity tartness. Low bitter finish. Not a NEIPA by any means but truly a tasty beer.

Dunkler, süß fruchtiger Beginn von Beeren. Die Süße ist zu stark, der Hopfen geht dabei unter. Süffig, fruchtig, erst spät herb und etwas hopfiger. Trocken, mittellanger Abgang. Ok. 10/8/8/8/6/8

Aus der Flasche (bbe 02.06.2023) im 2022-10 getrunken. Dieses schwarz-rote Ale kommt mit deutlicher dunklen Beerenaroma daher. Das hat nur eine ganz leichten IPA Charakter und gar kaum Hopfenbitterkeit. Es sehr süffiges fruchtiges Ale!
