For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

6.5

Can @ home. Almost clear golden body under a fine white head. Aroma has malt and citric fruity hops. Taste is smooth, pale malt, citric fruits and some bitterness. Decent low alcoholic IPA with a thin body as expected. Refreshing and totally decent.

Tap @ Cabardouche. Hazy yellow golden under a lacing white head. Aroma of tropical fruits. Tast is mild, light malt, fruity, crisp with a light hint of lime. Thirst quenching and easy drinkable.

Tap @ Cabardouche. Unclear golden body under a white head. Nice and refreshing blond’ish beer with balancing hop and a hint of orange peel. Nice thirst quencher and goes really well down at the terrasse in the sun outside the brewpub a nice autumn day.

Tap @ Håndverkeren. Unclear golden brown body under a small, dense tan head. Aroma of caramel malt, dry fruit and hint of bread. Taste is sweet malt, toffee, dry fruit, hint of nuts and moderate bitterness. Feels like a crossover between British malt/hops profile and some classic Belgium yeast and sweetness. Quite sweet, but not too much, a well balanced beer for the Christmas season and food.

Bottle @ home. Almost clear golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Aroma of pale malt, white sugar, spicy yeast and hint of citric fruits. Taste is sweet, pale malt, slightly spicy and slightly fruity, balanced alcohol, not boozy. Rather classic Duvel, put perhaps a bit more hops. A nice, well made beer anyway. Fine balance.

Superficial tasting from can at train on the way to Amsterdam. Sweet, dominating chocolate, some caramel, relatively camouflaged alcohol. Sweet and warming aftertaste. Not bad, but too sweet and pastry for my taste.
