Description
Op zijn zeventiende vertrok Ramses Snoeij naar zijn vader in Amerika. Rond 1990 werd daar het eerste Ramses Bier gebrouwen in Oregon, aan de westkust van de Verenigde Staten. Na zijn terugkeer in Nederland koos hij in 2007 ervoor zijn brouwhobby commercieel aan te pakken. Zijn eerste commerciële brouwsel was Willem Bever dat in 2007 werd geïntroduceerd. De bieren van Ramses Bier werden aanvankelijk gebrouwen met behulp van de brouwfaciliteiten van Bierbrouwerij De 3 Horne in Kaatsheuvel. Hier werden brouwsels gebrouwen van 700-800 liter. De proefbrouwsels werden in Wagenberg gebrouwen en hadden een volume van 50-60 liter. In februari 2013 werd een eigen bedrijfsruimte opgeleverd met een nieuwe brouwinstallatie die een brouwcapaciteit van 1.500 liter heeft.

Aroma of orange, strong pine, apricots, sweet fruits, potent hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with an impressively strong dry bitter finish. Pretty good, I like this.

Aroma of dark malt, caramel, lots of wood, spicy notes, some liquorice. Flavour is moderate sweet with a nice moderate to medium bittersweet finish. Nice one, definitely a step up from the base beer.

Aroma of roasted malts, leather, hint of smoke, chocolate, liquorice, hint of dark fruit. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Surprisingly good, leathery and slightly smokey with a strong bittersweet flavour.

Aroma of citrus, orange peel, funky Saison yeast, spicy notes, hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate tart with a surprisingly bitter finish. Dry and refreshing. Lively carbonation. Being a fan of bitter citrus peel in beer, I rather like this one. Another winner from Ramses.

Aroma of citrus, pale malt, some yeast, hops. Flavour is potent and long bitterness. Wow, nice refreshing bitter Pale Lager, I wish stuff like this was more typical for the style.

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, liquorice, tea, berries, earthy notes, coffee, hint of roast, hops in the finish. Flavour is light sweet with an over moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. Curious beer, but I definitely liked it.

From tap at Jopen Proeflokaal Amsterdam. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, some chocolate, dark/red fruity notes, hint of hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Fruits are rather subtle, but there’s a fine coffee Stout beneath.
