33 cl. bottle shared with Hilde @ home, bought @ Kulenborgse Bierhandel. Hazy golden with a white head. Orange aroma with some other citrus fruit. Sweet taste with a sweet finish.

Very dark. Lasting, lacy head. Aroma and flavour are packed with heavily roasted malts. Elements of dark chocolate come through. Flavoursome. Nice burnt, bitter aftertaste.

Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is zoet en licht bitter met iets van chocolade, wat koffie en een heel klein beetje rook. Heel fijn bier.

The black pepper and mustard are just a little too much. The base tripel is nice with a good full sweetish body. Could be drier. Bierkonig ams (3.2 sept 2021) Again at Gollem amstelstraat. Same weirdness. Just too much mustard

Cool beer. Like a mild saison with some smokey overtones. Super clean, maybe the smoke is a little artificial, but very well made cloudy beer. Arendsnest ams

Low alcohol IPA by Hoop in the northern Netherlands, thanks to Joeri. Quite thick, moussy, densely small-bubbled, cobweb-lacing, slowly diminishing, snow white head on a hazy pale yellowish straw blonde beer with pale greenish tinge and disparate sparkling. Aroma of dried camomile and other herbs - and old herbarium even, white bread dough, plaster, green banana, margarine, soap, old lemon zest, raw parsnip, celery, moist white pepper hint, potato juice, damp jute bags, vague background touch of cooked broccoli. Cleanish, sweetish onset, green banana and some vague lime notes with a dash of green apple thrown in, dim sourish undertone, lively but finely tingling carb, slender soapy body, bit plastery; thin pale graininess gently bittered by a herbal and restrainedly zesty hoppiness, paired with lots of minerality from the carbonation and lingering pale malt graininess, sweetish and soapy; retronasal effects of dried garden herbs, 'herbes de Provençe' and some dried lemon peel. Quite refreshing ending in which the bitterness lasts for a while but always in a mild way; green banana fruitiness remains palpable till the end as well. Drinkable, but this plastery and soapy effect, often present in this kind of beers, annoyed me a bit and I would not have minded a more powerful hop bitterness either - but what this lacks the most for a low-alcoholic IPA, is hop aromatics. No match for fellow Dutchmen Vandestreek's Playground, still the best low alcohol IPA I ever had (and one of the best low alcohol beers I had 'tout court'), but surely a decent attempt.
