33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Albert Heijn, Culemborg. Clear brown with an off-white head. Rum, caramel and vanilla aroma. Sweet caramel taste with the vanilla giving it some creaminess. Very nice beer but not a bock in my opinion.

East Coast IPA (at least intended as such) made in Holland; bottle from an Albert Heijn supermarket there. Thick, frothy, snow white, tightly but irregularly lacing, stable head, more or less clear pale orangey warm golden robe with fierce sparkling. Aroma of old dried mandarin peel, bitter honey, withering chervil and basil, overripe pumpkin, banana peel, moist cigarette tobacco, white onions and vague ‘puttekenslucht’ (sewer water) lurking in the background. Crisp, fruity onset, harshly stinging overcarbonation as feared, very minerally and distracting from the – admittedly subtle – green banana and apricot fruitiness; cereally maltiness, quite neutral and straightforward, phenolic smoky accent retronasally (almost as in burning rubber), but then finally some oniony and citrusy hoppiness shows up, adding quite long, spicy, bit earthy bitterness but not nearly enough New World fragrance for the style that was intended here. Drinkable, but far from memorable even as an IPA in general, let alone an East Coast one.

THT October at Kwartje. Bottle shared thanks to kermis. Pours brown amber eith offwhite head. Smells like Pancake with syrup. Light dry catfood. Bit vegetal. Big sweet and moderate bitter. Full body, greasy and soft carbonation.
