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 a very clear light blonde. Med sized stable white head. Scent is very intense on the NZ hops. Taste is quite bitter, pronounced NZ hops. Sronefruit pits, but it works quite well. Honestly hard to think of this as a pilsner though.

Pours a bit unclear blonde. Small white head. Scent is full, paky, fruity funk. I would think more about calvados than whisky here. Taste is full, nice maltyness, balanced acidity. Funky wood, zgain very fruity , apples come to mind. whisky isnt recognizable to me. Great acidic balance and complexity, slightly to high carbonation perhaps. Quite enjoying this one !

Pours rather clear blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is fairly mild. More on the crystal malts than the piney hops. Taste is medium vitter , low for the style. Caramel malts but also something dusty, aged about it, bit honeyed malts as well. Bbd 10 + months ahead though, and bought from a fridge... Decent beer, but not meeting expectations, let alone hopes. Also quite punchy on the alcohol, not at all smooth...

Pours black, no head. Scent is fairly boozy, less adjunct forward. Taste is full, roasty, intense barrel, loads of wood. Sweet, chocolate. Maple is hidden. Bit boozy. Not my fav version, i prefer more maple and less boozy, but certainly a great beer !
