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.

Quadrupel Beer review – Brouwerij Voorschoten

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:30:03 +0000

Two weeks ago, we reviewed the Ben Nevis BA called ‘Winterslaapje’. This time we wrote a beer review about the other new beer from Brouwerij Voorschoten, the Quadrupel.

The Voorschotens Quadrupel is a strong beer that drinks away pretty easily. It is originally brewed for the colder days, but can actually be enjoyed year round. The Quadrupel is a aromatic beer with a ruby red to black colour. Furthermore, it has a warming body with a touch of dried fruit.
Since darker beers are right up our ally, this was bound to be a succes.
And it sure was! The smell and flavours of this beer are very strong which is most definitly something we like. Therefore, this beer is certainly one we would drink again.
Therefore, we rate this beer a 4/5.

Pareltje aan de Vliet – Brouwerij Cavé

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Pareltje aan de Vliet is another gem of brewery Cavé with an alcoholpercentage of 5,3%. This beer is named after the nickname of the village Voorschoten which is ‘Parel aan de Vliet’.
The village got this name because it is a village with a long history, many monumental buildings, beautiful country estates and a annual horsemarket.

Pareltje aan de Vliet is an American Pale Ale (APA) with notes of citrus. It also has a fresh aftertaste which makes it a beautiful beer to drink in the summer.
We actually drank this beer in the pool in our garden on a beautiful sunny day and we absolutely loved it! It is quite a bitter beer, but the fruity smell and taste makes it an easy beer to drink. Especially on a warm day. Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

Onder de Linde – Brouwerij Cavé – Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Another masterpiece of brewery Cavé, which is a local brewery in Voorschoten, is ‘Onder de Linde’. This beer is named after the oldest part of Voorschoten, the Voorstraat, where the market and the horsemarket have been held under the Linde trees for hundreds of years.

‘Onder de Linde’ is a smooth blond beer with a fresh, citrusy and slightly spicy character. This beer has an alcoholpercentage of 5,5% and is quite an easy beer to drink.
When we started to drink this beer, we were first taken by surprise by its spicy taste. But after we took a couple more sips, we actually started to like this beer. It is absolutely a good blond beer to drink, but you just have to get used to its spicy character first. If you like a spicy, fresh and citrusy beer then you should get this beer and give it a try! It might suprise you.
It may not have our preference tastewise but it is definitely a good beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 3,5/5.

– Did you ever drank a beer of brewery Cavé?

Proeflokaal Mimi

Nick Riethoven — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +0000

One day I was working from home and I just really needed to go out and do something else. I needed to empty my head so I could focus again. Therefore we decided that it was a good idea to go for lunch. We searched on Google and we typed in “lunch” and one of the first suggestions was Proeflokaal Mimi in Voorschoten. It looked very appealing and modern so we jumped in the car and went over to Mimi.

When we arrived at the restaurant we were amazed by the looks and design of the place. It was beautiful and cozy with plenty of space and creative seating areas.
We were directly greeted by a professional waitress and we sat down at a comfy sofa seat. We ordered some sweet potato fries, Mimi’s chickie and Avocado sandwich. I didn’t know what to expect from the chickie, except it contained chicken. The sandwich tasted really good. I truly loved it! The Avocado sandwich was very flavorful and delicious and the sweet potato fries were also super tasty with a fresh dip on the side. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and the food was served pretty fast.

We had a great experience in this restaurant and therefore we recommend this to everyone who is up for cozy lunch/diner.

Voorschotens Tripel

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 19:00:41 +0000

Our previous beer review was about the Pale Ale from a local brewery named Brouwerij Voorschoten. Not only did they provide us the Pale Ale, they provided us with two more beers. One of them is was the Triple which is the subject for our review for today. The Triple (8,4%) was the first beer of the brewery. It has a sweet, fresh and bitter flavour and a beautiful amber colour.

The rich flavour of the beer is delicious and it is a treat to drink this beer. We will definitely drink this beer again!
Therefore we give the flavour a 8/10.

The label of the bottle is an old design and they have already redesigned the bottle. The design was simple but clear. Therefore we give the design a 6/10.

We love the brewery and we are continuing to support them and try out their new beers!

Voorschotens Pale Ale

Nick Riethoven — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Last weekend we had the opportunity to drink a beer from a small, local brewery (Brouwerij Voorschoten) near our hometown Leiden.
We came across this brewery during a daily scroll through our Instagram feed. When we saw this beer, we were directly attracted by message of the beer and the passion of the brewer. Once again, we found a unique combination of flavours.

The Voorschootse Pale Ale (5,5%) is an American Pale Ale. The beer is ideal for the summer with its amber colour, malty body and subtle bitterness with a pleasant fresh citrus taste. The flavour surprised us positively, which left us to base our score on the match of the suprise effect with its flavours. We where long in doubt about the score, but we decided to give it a 7.5. The score is based on the fact that we would recommend this beer and that we definitely liked the taste of it.

The score for the design is based upon the changes from the old beer design and it’s ability to distinguish from other beers we have drank and reviewed before. If we would describe the design, it would be a standard design for the beers from this brewery, but with a facelift. Since the facelift is a step into the right direction, we would love to see a more unique and special eye-catching design. Therefore, we give the design a 6,5. Keep evolving the design, you’re heading in the right direction! Feel free to follow @brouwerijvoorschoten and try their beers! They just started this brewery and they have some very promising beers!
