Description
WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH A BEER, YOU’RE AFTER SOMETHING. Maybe it’s nuanced layers of flavor, the siren call of a favorite hop, or to test your skill identifying stone fruit tasting notes. Maybe you’re chasing the new or craving the familiar, perhaps you just want to kick back for a drink with friends—and order another of the same. At Bearded Iris, our beers meet you where you are and deliver the experience you seek, whatever it might be, because that’s what we believe makes beer worth drinking. CULTIVATE VARIETY DRIVES US AT BIBCO. (WE’RE NOT KIDDING.) With a menu that skews heavily toward IPAs, DIPAs, and pales, it can appear that we don’t, in fact, cultivate much “variety.” But here’s the thing: we’re not looking to bombard you with a checklist of styles. Instead, we know that each hop varietal and every intentionally selected ingredient contains a multitude of possibilities that can be deliberately unlocked and unleashed, then honed and hemmed in tightly, to construct a pint that’s unapologetically itself, memorably composed, and fun to drink. Every time. Regardless of style. To us, that’s the variety worth cultivating. And that’s what we bring to your table.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is very dank and oniony with fruity weedy hops, citrus, tropical fruits, mango, guava. Softly sweetish flavour, mild bitterness with a little hop burn. Medium body. Properly dank 'n juicy, plenty of citrus with a strong Mosaic character. Would have been great without the hop burn.

Can from BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Tropical dank juice aroma with fruity hops, oniony weedy notes, citrus, mango, grass, green hops, passion fruit. Flavour is light sweet and quite bitter with a great deal of hop burn in the finish. Body is medium. Dry-hopped into an obscure dimension, shame about the harsh flavour. Aroma is really tasty.
