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.

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.

Helder licht geel bier met schuim wat niet lang blijft staan. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en fruitig met iets van citrus en wat ananas. Matig bier wat betreft body, echter wel een goede doordrinker denk ik.

On tap at IJ Proeflokaal, Amsterdam on 18th November 2022. Clear amber with minimal foam and spot lacing. Malty aroma with leafy hoppiness. A nutty liquid pass and a finish not dissimilar to a pilsner. Light bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.
