Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Epic beer Tasting 2016”. Dark brown, little tanned head. Nose is thick chicory syrup, herbal with low blueberry jam. Taste is fizzy, thin chicory, blueberry jam & vegetable. Fizzy & herbal. Meh, for me best of the 4 beers tried by these guys at the tasting.

Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Epic beer Tasting 2016”. Hazy orange, little off-white head. Nose is smoked oddly, thin & fizzy. Taste is fizzy, big paper, smoked, moldy, rubbish, smoked medicine, not overly pleasant & far too fizzy. Not a fan.

Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Epic beer Tasting 2016”. Dark orange, off-white head. Nose is dull oily, weirdly vegetable, vegetable pine oil & unpleasantly black tea bitter. Taste is milky hop, overly big on milky yeast, paper, plaster, overly fizzy & vegetable. Quite poor.

Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Epic beer Tasting 2016”. BBF 30.03.2017. Hazy citrus golden. Nose is oily hops, weeds, dank hop but overall overly sweet with lemon drops. Taste is weird plaster upfront, old cardboard, hop oil, paper, fizzy, vegetable. Stale. This is not it for me.

Small yellow-beige head over reddish black beer. Chocolate, mocha, liquorice, chocolatemalt. Liquorice, sweet-roasted, hardly any bitterness. Roasted keeps lingering on, good carbonation. Decent porter.

Fine white head over orange-amberish beer. Smoked, faintly roasted, New World hops. Smoked, caramel, faintly coloured malts, but also fine fruity hops. Medium bodied, slick. Not half bad. As to bloodoranges???

Good, just off-white head over clear copperish orange beer. Bit caramelly, cakebottom and aromatic New World hops. Grapefruti, again (if non-sweet) caramel, a tad dull. Medium bodied, quite slick. Not spectacular...

Small, white head over hazy, mosssy copper beer. Very aromatic New World hops, bit of rosewater, but also some valerian/cat’s pee. Spicy, bitterish flavour, greenery in the finish. Light to medium bodied; wry, near astringent finish. Good IPA, no discussion.

Pours hazy dark orange body with medium dized frothy white head. Refreshing smell of grapefruit and mango, a bit grassy with some yeast. Medium body with lively carbonation. Thick texture. IBU of 60 guarantees the bitterness of this beer, but it’s actually quite tamed and not really aggressive. Aroma of hops, fruity character with notes of grapefruit, mango and passion fruit. A bit herbal and spicy mouthfeel followed by slightly dry, long and bitter finish. Overall, textbook IPA. Good brew.

Bottle, 500 ml from Pivoljub. Shared with JFK10000 and Miro B. Pours black with medium, creamy, lasting, light brown head. Excellent lacing. Roasted malts, lots of chocolate, some coffee notes. Soft carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Moderate sweetness and bitter finish. Medium bodied. Nice brew.
