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 !

Pours very dark, chestnut brown amber. Medium large to large off white head. Stable, very stable even for the style. Scent is typical 3f citrus, clear funk, oak, refinement. Bit more closed, less vibrant than their 'regular' geuze or a&g. Taste is full, tart, fairly dry. Specifically woody. Relatively closed on the typical (present) funk. Medium carbonation, very fine bubbles. Dry , woody finish with mild funk. Perhaps a bit less 'refreshing' than their regular offerings.

Pours a hazed blonde. Medium sized white head. Scent is pretty intense hoppy, but not the most desired, very powdery, making hopburn a big expectation. fruity beneath, vegetal and slightly tropical. Orange (zesty!) Taste is fairly bitter. Very recognizable OH profile, more NZ like than expected (loud in intensity, but 'mild' in character - style hops) Very grape-like , next to the zesty orange, vegetal, slightly danky. Medium body. Powdery finish (but no hopburn, hurray! ) with dankyness being the most persistant of the aroma's. Decent.

Recolte 2008. Pours extremely dark for an Ice Cider, dark copperbrown. Scent is showing some of the age, getting a bit caramelly, candied but also dusty apples. Taste is full, sweet on the top, but specifically feels very dry beneath. Certainly less sweet than other Ice Ciders. Slightly nutty (presumably due to the age) giving it an almost (very mild) sherry like feature. Not super thick, especially for an Ice Cider, and only medium-high intensity (versus very high for most others). Still, an absolutely great sipper - even with the age, perhaps even more so BECAUSE of the age. Drinks away dangerously smoothly. Well, at least I comsumed a hell of a lot of apples today !

Pours a clear, medium colored gold. Medium to medium small white head. Scent is malty, rather light, quite a bit of DMS. Taste is mildly crisp, lots of lager yeast profile, mild bitterness. Touch sweet (ends a bit stikcy as well, which builds up, making this not very refreshing) . DMS is acceptable in the taste, though to the high side. Tastes quite simple and cheap, not on par with Germany's finest.
