Sampled from the tap at ABR 2019. Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of oaky barrel, bitter dark grains and roasted malts with a bit of creamy vanilla and marshmallow underlying. Flavor has dark grains, nice barrel note, some strawberry, a touch of chocolate and vanilla in the finish.

Pours black, no real head. Smell is roasty, rather mild for it's style. Taste is full, sweet, chocolate, cinnamon, but not overly so. Bit nutty towards the end. Nice.

Ace & Kees 2019. From an oversized can. Hazy yellow with white head. Sweet oaty and tropical business as usual. Soft green hop aromas, some onioniness. Sweet and mild bitter. Over medium body and soft carbonation. Nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Rain Drops on 02 Nov 2019 at 16:43 - Score: 8. Original review text: Ace & Kees 2019. From an oversized can.

Sampled at Ace&Kees festival. Can. Cloudy yellow with white head. Papaya, dank juicy hops, soft grass, light flowery, sweet oats and wheat, a bit herbal. Medium sweet, bitter and bodied. Quite typical NEIPA, though not super juicy and no weird hop burn. Solid.

I'm starting to like this brewery, even though they use those ridiculous liter cans. Another excellent NEIPA, with all I want in the style. Juicy, fruity and hoppy, yet still with some bitterness. A lot of citrus, grapefruit, dank, and a bit of peach.

A more than excellent example of the style. Mad juicy, loads of tropical fruit flavorings and a nice bunch of hop. Pretty sweet, but also with a little amount of tartness and some bitter to break through. Fairly herbal and dank. Very smooth. Lovely.

Another gorgeous IPA from these people. Mad juicy, something bitter and something sweet, lots of citrus, some tropical fruit and a bit of mango. The bitterness balances nicely, and keeps it safely in true beer territory. The amount of citrus is great.
