All ratings displayed on this site are personal opinions, and are not neccesarily to be seen as professional reviews. Some of these beers have been drank in conditions that were far from optimal. If you'd like a professional review of your beer, please contact me.
Always interested in meeting up/sharing beers / trading beer .
Next to beer, I have a big passion for Ice cider, Mead, and Sherry. Exploring the wine and spirit world asside of this all.
Allow me to explain a bit on how I score. These are based on personal enjoyment. Quality & 'in style' are part of that enjoyment, but won't totally make or break a drink, if I myself have a different opinion.
Whiskey : Rated on the website 'whiskeybase' ( account Kraddell )
Wine : Rated on the App / Site 'Vivino' ( Account named Kraddel . ) <-- with the dot.
Still searching a medium for other spirits, so those aren't online for now. If you know anything, let me know ;)
For all mediums, the score is decided like this :
100 : Absolute perfection. Must have sampled it at least twice, and be mindblown twice.
90 - 100 : absolutely amazing. I'd like a drink like this anytime, even if it ain't the cheapest.
80-90 : Very damn good. It'll depend a bit more on the price - but this is probably one to seek out.
70-80 : better than average . Will likely enjoy again if it's priced compeditive.
70 : Average score for anything with alcohol .
//
50 : The absolute middlepoint ( pure H2O ) Anything with alcohol beneath 50 is simply not worth drinking (seriously, concider your liver)
//
05 : The absolute, final downpoint . Songs shall be written about how this attack to the tastebuds has started a rage within, killing inocent bystanders for no apparent reason - other than the fact my life is ruined by drinking this. On the other hand, it's kinda interesting to try something THIS bad, so you should probably seek it out !
As you can see, I use the FULL scale , and a rating of 70 by myself isn't bad at all !

Not too familiar with gooseberry, to be honest, but since this was one of the fruits in de cam speciaal, which to this day is my best fruited De Cam, I really wanted to try this one!
Pours an unclear yellowblonde, slightly orange. No stable head at all. Scent is earthy (slightly) some .. orange peel like zesty fruityness. somehow also reminds me of peach or apricot. Taste is full, very tart and dry, very orange-forward fruityness, I get less (but still some) of that apricot like feel, and a hint of the fruityness. On it's own surely not as much my preference as the speciaal-blend. Its not at all bad though, fruityness is 'ok' for me flavor wise (not the biggest fruit fan in general, so thats not a bad thing for me) . lambic is significantly more acidic than the average, and very dry. Perhaps a touch more smoothness would have made me prefer it more. Medium high carbo, that enhances the dryness. Fruit intensity is right where you'd want it to be.

Pours unclear amber. Small white head dissapears fast. Scent is herbal, green, harsh. mild lambic funk beneath. Taste is full, sharp, citrussy acidity, oak, brett. Medium loud herbal, green notes from the hops. bit earthy. Easy drinkable. not my favorite blender, not my favorite idea (dry hopped lambic) , but somehow it does work for me, it's actually quite a nice one, which is a big surprise.

Gusher alert! Pours unclear darker blonde. No stable head. Scent is citrussy, malty, midlly recognizable NA. Taste is pretty generic craft NA, mild bitterness, sweet, bit citrussy. Sticky finish. Somehow, even though it's a gusher, carbo feels low. Meh.

From the can, so no info on the color or foam. Scent is very crystal malts, piny hops. Mild alcohol, within the expected range of a 9 abv beer. Taste is full, bit higher in alcohol here, on the verge of too high. Mild to medium pine, decent bitterness. Very crystal malts , not too sweet at all, and fullbodied. Lower carbo. Long lasting, big bitter , malty finish. Quite nice !!!
