A road beer with a nice view. Slightly watery but an easy drinker.

Medium sweet with notes of wheat, light lemony vibe, straw, minerals, malty backing, subtle hoppy and wheaty finish. Pretty decent AF brew.

Warm and strong Belgian dubbel, the warm alcool is present, malty side a side of plum and autumnal spices, hop, to drink quietly. Buying it at qoqa and tasting it at Epalinges.

One of several of these Brió beers by one of Iceland’s best known craft brewers, a Pilsener this time – thanks to my girlfriend Goedele for bringing the can straight from Iceland! Thick and frothy, snow white, foamy head lacing in dots over a clear ‘old golden’-tinged blonde robe, a tad ‘deeper’ than usual for the style. Aroma of raw green cereals, wall barley, raw Kohlrabi, young birch tree leaves, cucumber peel, field flowers, something distantly sulfuric. Clean, crisp onset, quite sharply carbonated even for the style, some vague green apple peel and hard unripe banana accents over a ‘raw’ green cereal flavour even with elements of raw green vegetable (raw Kohlrabi or broccoli stalks) announcing a long, drying, floral and grassy hop bitterness, through which that vague sulfuric accent pierces briefly – no doubt a feature coming from the brewing water, as the geothermal activity in Iceland quite notoriously lends their tap water a sulfuric odour especially when heated. It does not get any more Icelandic than this – have an extra point for this ‘terroir’ element subtly setting it apart from what I am used to in craft-oriented Pilsener, regardless of this being actually a pleasant odour or not...
