Unique

Certified Cicerone ® & BJCP Recognized Beerjudge Bartender @ Beerlovers Bar & Owner @ Siris About Beer. 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 !

Oude Geuze Kavo Noevo from Hanssens Artisanaal

11 months ago

8.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 9.5 Texture 9 Overall 8.5

i'm still unsure wether this is the replacer of the (earlier) Oude Geuze, or if this will be a side-offering. All I know is, the kavo Noevo Geuze extra was pretty good!
Just to be sure, as a possible goodbye, I had a Oude Geuze last week - which was the most acetic to date, even for Hanssens. Consuming it felt like a job, 'sure, i'm man enough the be able to drink this' whilst dying inside. So, needless to say, expectations are high for this one - even though the (average, not a peak like the one last week) regular Oude Geuze had it's moments of specific craving, so I do hope they maintain this being available, somehow.

This one pours a warming yellowblonde with orange tints, cloudy. Foam stability is very low. Scent is very brett-forward, loaded with woodyness, overripe green treefruit, even a bit floral. Very grainy as well. Amazing ! Taste is bonedry, yet very vibrant. notes of lime, lemon, unripe (what a contradiction) green treefruit. Mildly floral on the back. Less 'heavy' funky, more of a 'lighter' experience, fresh and inviting. If you've ever thought about what would be the ideal summer geuze - here's your answer.

This has very, very little to do with the Oude Geuze by Hanssens. This isn't a 'new take on', this is a whole new beer altogether. Even within the saturated market today, this one jumps out. It's medium acidity (which is very low for hanssens) but it's so, so , so damn vibrant and fresh. At times, this feels more like a (low alcohol, obviously) cocktail of acidity, fruityness and carbonation, rather than a beer. High hopes are exceeded here. If this is the new face of Hanssens, we are in for a wild ride !
