Onze Calypso Session IPA is een fris bier met een sterke persoonlijkheid en een zachte kant. Weinig alcohol (4%) en toch lekker veel smaak. Die is vooral afkomstig van de hop. Citra en Galaxy zorgen naast een fruitig karakter ook voor een uitstekende doordrinkbaarheid. Lekker lichtalcoholisch maar toch pittig. Om extra vaak van te genieten.

Draft at the source. Almost clear appearance. Aroma has light grain, soft lemon. Flavor follows with the lightest note of non-descriptive tropical fruit. Light body and ends clean.

330 ml can, from dutchshopper. ABV is 4.0%. Nearly clear golden colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of lime and other citrus fruits, hints of tropical fruits. The flavour has the same elements, with a decent hop bitterness.

Draught Dense, whipped cream head, lacey, over clear, slightly darker golden beer. Very nice grapey nose, muscat grape, citruspeel, lime. Aromatic, rosewater, if demure. Sweetish, fine greenery, greenmalt, again demure and gradually loosing flavour, so that the finish is almost sparkling water with a used tea- sorry -maltbag. Very light, very well-carbonated and a light malty aftertaste. Just OK, but the nose promised more.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is grassy and fruity hop with citrus, bready pale malt, and a touch of lemon. Flavour is light sweetish with a moderate bitterness. Light to medium body. Light and easy, quenching, mostly citrussy hop and pale malt.

Gold with a foamy, white head. Subdued tropical fruit aroma with mango being the most distinct. Moderate bitter. Lingering grassy notes. Light-bodied, watery texture. True it’s only 4%, but I’ve had far chewier ones in this range. Ends up as bland, unfulfilling. Drinkable.

Bière bue au Berthom à Lille. Robe blonde claire. Nez parfumé, avec des notes d'agrumes, de citron et de zeste d'orange. En bouche, elle s'avère très légère, ce qui la rendrait idéale pour étancher la soif par temps chaud. Cependant, j'ai trouvé qu'elle manquait de corps et était un peu trop aqueuse à mon goût.
