Description
Focussing on "the good side of life" is what Big Belly Brewing is all about. We love things a little bigger, going the extra mile, adding something special, being more creative. But above all, we love things in life that are a bit more fun.

All our beers are well balanced and made with premium "The Swean" malts, so we get the full, distinctive beers that we are proud of. After coming up with a special touch, we design a legendary character for every beer. Finally, we write and add an amusing story about the character and the beer. That's how we make one of the most fun things, drinking beer, even more fun.

Clear yellow appearance with thin head. It's a decent Pilsener. Lots of light malt sweetness. Could do with a touch more bitterness. Despite the Germanic sounding name this is very much in the Dutch flavour profile of a Pilsener.

Can at home. Well, a tropical fruited NEIPA. In my case: a "whatever the blabla NEIPA". However, it is Big Belly, which is normally pretty good. This however? Horrible. Hops in the distance, but sourness, tart, orangepeel tart-bitterness. no. Just bleh, Not good at all. And ugly as well, unclear, opaque, murky watery orange. Crap written over it all the way. Leave this alone. I really like this brewery normally, but this is awful.

Can at home. Lightly orangy color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are orange juice, hops, hoppy bitter. Nothing special but a decent IPA I'd say. Okay.

Donkerbruin bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is zoet en heel licht bitter met iets van amandel, vanille en koekjes met daarbij nog een vleug van koffie en rook. Echt een Tiramisu smaak.

NEIPA in bottle, it seems contradictive, but let's go ! Pours a slightly hazed blonde, small white head. Scent is mild, malty, notes of fruity hops, but not nearly enough for the style. Taste is full, bitter (way to bitter for a NEIPA) , coconutty hops ( sorachi ace like ) . Not creamy at all... How is this a NE style ??? Decent as an IPA though, i guess.

Zwart bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is licht bitter en zoet met iets van chocolade, wat koffie en karamel. Verder is iets van anijs te bespeuren. Mondgevoel is een beetje waterig.
