Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Unclear cloudy orangy color, medium sized white head. Aroma is so.ewhat malty, somewhat hoppy. Hard to pinpoint. Flavor is malts, hops, somewhat fruity, firm bitterness. Body is decent, carbonation is medium to firm. Okay. 5-6,5-6-6-6
Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Clear chestnutt-ish red brown color, small off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, rather bitter, fizzy carbonation, a slight sourish touch, distant caramelized sugars. Hmm no, lacks body, balance and finesse. 7-6-4,5-4-4
Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Dark brown to black color, slight dark red glare coming through when held into the light. Aroma is brown malts and coffee. Flavor is malts, coffee, but a lot of brown malts and residu. Hard to explain but it tastes muddy. Too young maybe? More of an English brown ale now. Needs work imo. 7-6-6-6-5
Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Clear golden color, full sized white head. Aroma is toilet refreshener. Flavor is malts, also perfumy, toilet refreshener, weird. Thin body, soft carbonation. Bad attempt at a westcoast IPA. 7-4,5-3-3-4
Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Clear orange golden color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, a light blossomy touch, sweetish a little in the beginning but rather bitter in the finish. A bit fizzy carbonation. Mwah. Unimpressive tbh. 7-6-5-5-5
Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Almost opaque dark brown color, average sized beige to tan head. Aroma is malts, some roast but mainly brown malts. Flavor is malts, brown malts, grainy a bit, green coffee beans and a light sour note. Pretty sure this will turn bad quickly. Seems slightly infected and not the right malts used. To me it tastes more like a failed attempt at a brown ale. Not good. 6-5-4,5-5-4
Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Hazy pale yellow-golden color, average sized white head. Aroma is malts, hay, a bit bland. Flavor is malts, hayish, hayish bitter, firm bitterness in the aftertaste. One-sided, not enough fruity hoppiness, so it only has bitterness and becomes one-sided because of that. Meh. 5-5-5-5-4,5
