Certified Cicerone ® & BJCP Recognized Beerjudge Bartender @ Beerlovers Bar & Owner @ Siris About Beer. 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 !

NEIPA in bottle, it seems contradictive, but let's go ! Pours a slightly hazed blonde, small white head. Scent is mild, malty, notes of fruity hops, but not nearly enough for the style. Taste is full, bitter (way to bitter for a NEIPA) , coconutty hops ( sorachi ace like ) . Not creamy at all... How is this a NE style ??? Decent as an IPA though, i guess.

Pours very dark brown to black, small to no head. Scent is awesome syrupy chocolate mild maple, traces of oak. Superb balance, as is to be expected. Taste is full, intense on the body, chocolate, maple, oak. Milder yet very recognizable high quality whisky. Extremely nice beer for sure. A balance little can handle as well as odd side ales.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 5.5

Pours dark , clear copperbrown. Almost like a Dunkles Bock. Medium sozed, creamy off-white head. Scent is sharp, herbal, pure. Medium intense. Taste is medium bitter, expressive yeast 'dryness' by the esters. herbal notes quite - yet less than the aroma - expressive. Medium high carbo, medium thin body. Bit too phenolic to me, making this beer out of balanse and hard to drink ( wrang ) . OK. I apreciate the originality though.

6.4
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Pours hazed, darker yellow. Relatively big white head. Scent is full, fruity, yellow fruits, mild pine notes. Bit malty. Taste is full, medium creamy, rough edge. Milky, tad bitter (powdery). Yellow fruits. Lower PH water, it seems - making the beer quite sharp and not nearly as smooth and flexible as I'd like. Not very balanced.

Pours cloudy blonde, medium small white head. Scent is very full, creamy, heavy and thick fruityness. Taste is full, fruity, tad sweet (cndy like, almost). Elegant fruityness in a way, yet bombastic in it's intensity.
