Description
Eggens Craft Beer is een aantal jaren terug kleinschalig thuis begonnen. We zijn begonnen met het brouwen van bier op een Braumeister 50 liter, waar we veel geëxperimenteerd hebben met verschillende stijlen. Nadat we hier de smaak goed te pakken hadden, hebben we gekozen om onze bieren grootschalig te brouwen.

Dit zijn we gaan doen als zogeheten huurbrouwer. Op loopafstand van de start, is sinds 2016 Baxbier gevestigd. Na een goed gesprek met Bax hebben we besloten om hier te gaan huurbrouwen. We maken gebruik van hun overcapaciteit, en brouwen ons eigen bier daar in volumes van 2000 – 4000 liter. Dit zijn ten alle tijden eigen recepten, door ons zelf ontwikkeld op kleine schaal.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, dark brown colour with small, frothy, fading, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish, bready malty and alcoholic aroma, yeasty fruity hints of banana, dried fruit, overtones of ammonia, thinner. Taste is sweet, dark malty, slightly bready malty, quite boozy, yeasty fruity hints of banana and dried fruit, raisin, apple; lingering, warming, alcoholic finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine and soft carbonation. Very alcoholic, hardly drinkable - nope.

33 cl. bottle shared with Suus @ Alex and Suus. Clear amber with a white head. Malty caramel aroma with lots of tropical fruits. I'm sure it's a bit more malt forward than intended because the hops have mellowed due to its age but i do tend to like old(er) IPA's so that's okay with me. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Overall a more than decent IPA.

Bottle, 330 ml in Groningen. Hazy orange, white head. Smells like cabbage. Malty, caramel, some dried fruit, medium bodied. Bit of a mess.

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before February 2021. A bit hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-resiny aroma of peach, mango and traces of pine. Quite sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity and slightly resiny taste of mango, orange jam and some pine, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, slightly resiny and maybe a little peppery finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid example of a classic American IPA, lacks some freshness due to its age though, I guess.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy orange golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Stone fruit, citrus, hop. Surprised to find stone fruit aroma in an IPA. Taste: Hopbitterness with nice fruity notes of stone fruit, some tropical fruit and citrus hints. Wheat malt, pretty smooth mouthfeel. Subtle peppery notes coming in towards and at the finish. Even more subtle caramel notes. Bit warming bittery and fruity finish. Nice IPA with an unusual twist. Medium body, just below average carbonation. I like it.

Bottle, thanks ShivanDragon! Golden color. Grassy, citric, floral flavor. Orange and lemon sweets in the aroma and flavor. Not really a typical IPA, but pleasant enough.
