Reptilicus In Space Deren

Decent beer; lots of dry, tropical flavours of orange, nectarine, passion fruit and a little sweet peach. Smooth and slick, it’s also quite bright and super easy drinking. A nice amount of carbonation and bitterness kept it interesting for almost 2 hrs.

Nuit Bruxelloise (2019) Deren

Super smooth and easy drinking. Zero harshness but a little muted, if anything. Flavours are decent though. I could drink this all day. Dark berry flavour, whatever that means. Prickly, blackcurrant, blackberry, perhaps some raspberry.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio Deren

This is what I wrote about my first: “Cherry and raspberry all, day, long. Tart and super fruity. Prickly, wild bramble bush flavours with a lovely, refreshing carbonation.” This one is the same but thicker! It actually very thick. So lovely.
