33cl Bottle from Vonk. Not really a Hoop beer, not even mentioned on the label, added it as such b/c it’s brewed there. Hazy amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of spicy yeast, hint of caramel, CO2. Flavour is very weak, almost absent, light spicy, hint of malts, bit of caramel, water, light metallic. Light bodied, fizzy and over-carbonated. No trace of the promised rum and vanilla.

Bottle at home, 25th February 17. Pours light and clear. Aroma is slight, pils, some hips, a little citrus. Taste is a hoppy lager type IPA, clean, not overly hopped, light pine. It’s drinkable, not outstanding.

33 cl bottle @ home. Pale yellow color, slightly hazy. Big frothy white head with good retention. Aroma’s: light sweet, grain, fruit. Retronasal it’s a little plastic, fruity, grainish. Flavor is as good as neutral, light maltiness and faint bitterness. Light bodied. Finishes with light bitterness. Needs way more aroma and flavor.
