Jopen – Ex-Girlfriend BA Ruby Port & Jamaican Rum – beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 16:30:00 +0000

This beer is brewed as cold as your ex-girlfriend’s heart. So stop whining and crawl out of the dark corner of your room. This beer will warm your heart.

This limited edition beer is aged on Ruby Port and Jamaican rum barrels. Therefore, the beer has aromas of red fruit and wood. These aromas are followed by warm notes of chocolate, red fruit, nuts and spiciness from the rum.

The beer has quite a high alcoholpercentage of 11,3%. Therefore, it is a relatively strong beer to drink. We absolutely enjoyed the smooth, but full taste of this beer.
The flavour of Port and Rum are also reflected very well in this beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

Islander – Summer Ale

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 19 May 2020 18:00:00 +0000

Brewery Lowlander is a very special Dutch brewery since they brew beer with botanicals. They brew with herbs, spices and fruits to create unique and naturally delicious beers. We decided to try the Islander Summer Ale which has a low alcoholpercentage of 3.8%. This beer is inspired by Curacao and it is brewed with the islands’ vitamin C rich orange and dragon fruit.
We were actually quite disappointed by the taste of this beer. It tasted quite watery and it wasn’t as fruity as we expected it to be. Therefore we rate this beer a 2.5/5.

Brouwerij ‘t IJ – Session IPA

Nick Riethoven — Sun, 17 May 2020 18:00:00 +0000

We participated in a giveaway of @pizzabarrijslust and we received the Session IPA from @brouwerijtij from them.
The session IPA is a beer with a strong personality but it has a soft side as well. This IPA is hopped with Citra and Galaxy for a fruity character and for excellent drinkability. While retaining its spicy character, this beer can be tasted just a little more often. The beer has a low alcoholic percentage of 4%. We drank this beer on a sunny day in our garden and we absolutely loved it! It is a very fresh flavoure and not very bitter. Therefore it is quite an easy beer to drink.
We rate this beer a 4/5.

Oedipus – Manneliefde

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 05 May 2020 18:00:00 +0000

After our last post about ‘Trigo’ from brewery Founders Brewing Co. from the beerbox, we decided to review our next beer from this box. The beer is from the Dutch brewery Oedipus.The name of this beer is Mannenliefde and this is the very first brew of this brewery.
Mannenliefde is a brew to free beer from predominant ideas about beer as a masculine drink, it’s about openness and vulnerability and diversity.
The beer is a 6% ABV Saison and the brewery has added lemongrass to add freshness, Szechuan pepper to give it a bit of bite and Sorachi ace hops to give it some herbal and coconut aromas.
We liked this beer but it was not something very special. We rate this beer a 3.5/5

Cheers!
