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.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Hazy yellow body under a lacing white head. Aroma is juicy – tropical fruits. Taste is sweet and juice with tropical fruits and low bitterness. Some zesty bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. Refreshing, but feels a bit one-dimensional after a few sips.

Can @ home. Slightly unclear golden body under a fine, medium sized white head. Aroma has citric fruit/yuzu with a malty background in a delicate and subtle way. Taste is smooth, soft malt, refreshing yuzy, fruity bitterness, zest, slightly lime acidity and hint of oranges. Medium body with a refreshing aftertaste. Nice and balanced with a certain fruity complexity without hiding the beer behind. Both interesting and nice.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Dark brown body under a nice, tan head. Mild aroma of dark malt and bread. Taste is rather sweet dark malt, light roasted, bread, hint of coffee and very light chocolate/oranges. Medium body with a bit short aftertaste. Decent, quite straight forward (really not much oranges detected her) porter.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Clear, slightly pink’ish red body under a small, fast disappearing white heat. Aroma of red berries, raspberries and moderate honey. Taste is sweet with a delicate, light acidity for balance. Red berries, mild honey and well-integrated alcohol. Body feels balanced and aftertaste is pleasant on the sweeter side.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Hazy, pale yellow body under a white head. Moderate aroma, not particular fruity, rather strange. Taste is quite plain with some malt, hint of yeast, hint of fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium to light bodied with short aftertaste. Perhaps a bit old as the previous ratings are a lot more optimistic. Well that’s the world of volatile NEIPA.

Alcohol is well integrated. Fine body with a refreshing aftertaste as well. The best NEIPA I had from the Melkebaren selection this week.
