Celebrate Spring with this Hoppy Weizen

The Voorschotens Hoppy Weizen from brewery Voorschoten is especially made to enjoy those beautiful sunny days in Spring. Because of the extra bunch of hop cones that have been added during the brewing process of this beer, it became a classic Weizen with a special twist

The Mandarin Bavaria hop gave this beer sweet tones of mandarin and fresh tones of citrus. We loved the fresh flavour of this beer and the tones of citrus fruits were cleary present. The beer had a quite a strong bitter aftertaste but we did not found this disturbing at all. It is a delicious Spring- but actually also Summer beer with a fresh malty/citrusy scent and taste.

We thought it actually tasted more like an IPA due to the bitterness of this beer. But we were very enthusiastic about its delicious flavour and we would certainly like to drink this beer again. Therefore, we rate this beer a 4/5.

Bagels & Beans – Takeaway review

10/12/2020

Recently, we decided to order two bagels at Bagels & Beans since we were really graving for some lunch.
We hadn’t eaten at Bagels & Beans since last summer due to the pandemic. Therefore we were very happy that we were able to order through takeaway.

The Zaailander Boekweit Blond (5%) is a beer brewed by hotel In de Brouwerij. This beer has been brewed according to an old recipes from the time that oats and buckwheat were characteristic ingredients in Dutch beer.

The beer tasted nice and fresh and had a delicious bitter aftertaste. We especially could taste the notes of buckwheat and oats and the beer especially smelled fresh and sweet due to the addition of these oats.
Also, the beer had a persisent foam head and quite a cloudy colour. It was not a very heavy beer to drink and we were happily surprised by the flavour of this beer.
Therefore, we rate this beer a 3,5/5.

We can’t wait for the brewery to expand their line up so we can try them all.

Elfique Triple Blonde – Beer review

Elfique - Triple Blonde - Beer

Elfique - Triple Blonde - Bottle

Elfique Triple Blonde is the third beer that we drank from our beer box from this brewery. It is was certainly a blond beer character!

This beer has fruity and spicy notes and a dark blond colour with an alcoholpercentage of 8% which made it an easy beer to drink. Furthermore, it is not a very bitter beer and we loved its hoppy character. We were also very pleased by its spicy/hoppy smell which made it a very pleasant beer to drink. The only con of this beer was that the foam quickly disappeared after we poured it. Therefore, we rate this beer 3,7/5.

Dochter van de Korenaar – Charbon – Beer review

Charbon - Brouwerij Dochter van de Korenaar - Beer

Charbon - Brouwerij Dochter van de Korenaar - Bottle

The next beer that we tried from the Belgian brewery De Dochter van de Korenaar was the Charbon. We are a big fan of stouts so we were very excited to try this beer from this brewery.

De Dochter van de Korenaar Charbon is a classic dry stout with an alcoholpercentage of 7%. It has been brewed with smoked wheat malt and it is flavoured with fresh vanilla. The first sip of the beer tasted mild with some vanilla. After that, it became a strong stout with a taste that stays in your mouth for a while.
It wasn’t a very difficult stout to drink and it tasted absolutely delicious! This beer is certainly one of the best stouts that we have drank before and the smoky smell definitely appealed to us.
Therefore, we rate this beer a 5/5.

Elfique IPA – Beer review

Elfique - IPA - Beer in glass

Elfique - IPA - Bottle

The Elfique IPA was the second beer that we tried from the beer box of brewery Elfique.
We were very curious about this beer since we normally don’t drink IPAs that often.

The Elfique IPA is a fresh and bitter beer with a fruity taste. It has an alcoholpercentage of 6% and it has a beautiful foamy head which stayed on the beer for a long time.
We taught it was a great beer and it was very easy to drink despite its bitterness. Unfortunately, we taught it was not a very special beer tastewise and therefore we rate this beer a 3/5.

Elfique – Tripel Brune

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 16:30:14 +0000

Recently, we received a beautiful beer box of brewery Elfique. Brewery Elfique is located in Raborive (Belgium) and it got its name from the legend of L’ Elfe de la Bella Roche which is said to appear in this area.

We first drank the Elfique Tripel Brune which is a brown tripel with a complex taste. The beer was not very bitter and we certainly tasted tones of liquorice and prunes.
Furthermore, it has an alcoholpercentage of 8% and it was a beautiful creamy beer.
The only thing which was a little bit disappointing is that the foam quickly disappeared after we poured it.
Nevertheless the Triple Brune is a good beer to drink and it has a very nice smell of apple syrup which we enjoyed very much.
Therefore, we rate this beer a 3,7/5.

De Dochter van de Korenaar L’ Ensemble di Montalcino

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:00:00 +0000

L’ Ensemble di Montalcino is a beautiful barley wine aged beer in Brunello di Montalcino barrels. This beer is brewed by the brewery De Dochter van de Korenaar which is situated in Belgium.

The L’ Ensemble di Montalcino has matured for approximately 1 year in these Brunello barrels. This gives the beer a strong infusion of red wine and tannins from the wood.
It is a very powerful and balanced barley wine which will certainly appeal to lovers of the better red wines.
With an alcoholpercentage of 13% and the subtle tones of fruit, wood and hop, it is a beer we absolutely loved. The strong taste of red wine made the beer very delicious and strong. This beer is an absolute gem of the brewery and we would certainly like to drink this beer again! Therefore, we rate this beer a 4,3/5

M’EAT Bar & Grill & Tappunt – Restaurant Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 16:00:36 +0000

When the restaurants where still open (it already seems like such a long time since we are in a semi-lockdown again) we visited M’EAT Bar & Grill & Tappunt.
These restaurants started to work together since COVID-19 and we reserved a table at M’EAT. These restaurants are located in Den Bosch and we visited them during our citytrip last September.

We started our evening with a Valse Trippel from the extensive beermenu of Tappunt and some bread with dip. The bread was served in a cute bag and the dips tasted amazing! As a main course, we ordered the Bavette and the M’EAT Hamburger. Both were prepared on the Big Green Egg which gave the meat a beautiful smoky taste. Both of the dishes were very tasty and delicious and we were super happy and satisfied with them. Furthermore, we ordered a St. Bernardus Abt 12, Ons Blackie Imperial Stout and another Valse Trippel since we absolutely loved this beer.

The staff was very kind and funny and we certainly had an wonderful evening here. We would definitely revisit this restaurant when we are in Den Bosch again.
Therefore, we would like to recommended this restaurant to everyone who loves beer and a good piece of M’EAT.

Martha Brown Eyes – Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Our Belgian beer box contained a wide variety of beers. One of them was from the Brew Society and is called the Martha Brown Eyes (12%). It is a strong dark beer in quadrupple style with secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is inspired by the best beers from the Belgian Trappist brewers.

The first taste impression was of marzipan and coffee flavour. It was quite hard to put a finger on it’s flavour but the brewers website helped out a lot. A pleasant fruity notes of apple, candied pear, ripe strawberry and cherries with a slightly spicy touch of anise, liqourice, caramel, coffee and chocolate. Drinking this beer and with these flavours in mind you can definitly say the description is accurate. The anise, liqourice and caramel are more present then the fruits but if you take a good sip you will notice the rest of the flavours.
We loved the beer and its unique strong flavour. If we ever come acrose this beer again we will most definitly bring it back home!

Let us know if you have ever tried the Martha Brown Eyes or any of their beers?

Jopen – Is That Spelt Ryeght – Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Is That Spelt Ryeght is already our last barrel aged beer from our beer box from brewery Jopen. This Porter has matured for more than 400 days in Scottish Glenburgie & Auchroisk whiskey barrels and it has an alcoholpercentage of 11%. Moreover, it is brewed with English hops which are 50% spelt- and 50% rye malt.

Is That Spelt Ryeght has aromas from raisins and wood and it definitely has a caramelly taste. Moreover, the colour of this beer is brown/black and it has a smooth whiskey flavour. Despite its high alcoholpercentage, it is a really easy beer to drink. We especially tasted caramel and whiskey in this beer and it tasted rather sweet than bitter.
It was a delicious beer to drink and therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.
