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.

Bottle at home. Clear deep amber with quite big but short lasting beige head. Quite hoppy up front with lime, grapefruit, orange peel. There’s quite some alcohol with light spices and a roasted bread touch. Then some light grape skins and other slightly bitter fruit parts. Not much saison character, though it’s quite dry. Medium sweet and alcoholic bitterness. Bit over medium bodied even though it’s quite dry. Quite some carbonation. Decent beer, but maybe a bit too much alcohol.

Black with no head. Aroma and flavour do have some light whiskey notes. It’s very dry and woody.

Bottle from het Biermoment, BB Oct 2018, 33 cl sample. Cloudy nutbrown color, short frothy head. Aroma of lots of fresh grassy hop, grapefruit and citrus. Quite some caramel malt and toffee in the back as well. Hoppy fruity bitterness up front in the taste, again backed up by caramel and toffee from the malts. Slight alcohol note. Malt takes up a lot of the body and it is not really crisp in bitterness. Finish is rather sweet actually. Yeasty notes make that it never surpasses a decent homebrew at best.
