Pours a (lovely) *clear* yellow-ish color. Super clean flavour of hay and citrus. No sweetness and a very balanced bitterness. Not particularly complex or a crazy beer … except being “crazy good” and super quenchable. I like it.

Good ipa. Dry bitterness. Slightly sweet, but quite drinkable.

Fruity but not especially juicy. Dry and malty with a good bitterness. A bit weird, but “good-weird” 😅🍻

First thought: “thick full body and plenty of chocolate-y flavours”. Also flavours of toffee and nuts. A bit boozy too. It’s basically a sweet desert in a can, but nowhere as sweet as anything that comes out of Amundsen, this is not too sweet. Delicious.

I agree with the profile suggestions; sweet, herbal and minty, but it’s a bit sweet … and although it does have some bitterness, it’s not much. It’s okay, but not fantastic.

Full bodied and creamy with flavours of roasted malts and coffee - and perhaps a bit of chocolate too. Smooth and delicious.

Oh wow, different on bottle than on tap. More roasty and chocolaty - and more bitter too. Even better. Super delicious.

I knew I’d had it before (a week ago, lol) and it’s still good. Nice and roasty with flavours of coffee and roasted malts. Excellent. I stand by my rating 🍻

Good body and LOTS of coffee-roastiness and bitterness with notes of chocolate. Excellent.

Clean flavour of leather, coffee and roasted malts. Good bitterness and overall flavour too. Long lingering finish. Based to this nice (and rather large) taster I definitely want to try this one again. Excellent.

Dry and roasty with a good flavour of coffee and chocolate. Excellent every time.

Tastes just the way it usually does - malty, sweet, thick and boozy … but in the best possible way. So in summary: excellent.

I had 3 of these yesterday. Excellent and easily drinkable for a session ipa.

Fruity with some stone bitterness. A bit sweet. Long finish. Not bad, but not super exquisite either.

Okay bitterness for the ABV, but it also has a real candy sweet gummy bear rubbery flavour to it. Certainly drinkable, but not what I want from an IPA.

A few days ago. Full body and roasty. Not too sweet. Great.

Life sucks at the moment, but at least I can “control beer” and make sure that this aspect of my life is of quality. And what a great beer it is, too. Anyways fantastic 🍻

Very tasty with melon flavours. Full body. Dry and not too sweet, actually feels quite balanced. A bit boozy though, but not bad.

Piney citrus flavours. Very fruity but with a nice stone fruit bitterness to offset it. Not bad.

“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down” Yeah, it’s sweet - but that is to be expected. However, it tastes really good & feels quite balanced. Certainly balanced enough to allow the stone bitterness to still show through. Full bodied. VGood.

This is dry & bitter - in all possible ways, lol. A bit of piney and citrus flavours, with a long dry finish. Excellent WC.

Not much sweetness and absolutely no juicyness. An okay piney bitterness though. Good flavour. Not bad, just a bit boring.

Watery but has a good citrus flavour and a good bitterness. Not as “bad” as I remember.

They’re not lying - it’s very oaty. Also very full-bodied. And fruit-juicy too. Bitterness just below medium, but surprisingly quite balanced. Definitely not as sweet as one would expect … which is pretty okay with me.

Flavours of grass and pine with a dry and resinous bitter finish. And let’s talk about that bitterness: it’s great. Overall a bit bland, but I like it.

Sweet with flavours of caramel and a bit of coffee and an overall low bitterness. Perfect for a double bock, but unfortunately not one of my preferred styles. The taste is fine, but it just doesn’t do it FOR ME. Sorry 😉

A bit thin and an okay bitterness, but has a strange fruity flavour - and a long finish. Well, it’s not bad, but “it’s not me”..

Piney and resinous. Dry and bitter with a simple and quite short finish. Surprisingly full and malty body for its measly 5.8% ABV, which surely detracts from the score, as that makes it less quaffable as a WCIPA. Having said that I do like it.

Pours a bit cloudy with a decently full-ish body. A bit malty. Flavours of lemon and grape fruit. Slightly acidic. Good bitter finish. Overall not bad.

Full of tropical fruit flavours. Not especially sweet, but instead have a dry stone fruit bitterness. This is great.

Some malty citrus and other fruity flavours with peppery notes to it. A lot sweeter and less crisp than the Citra version and I definitely prefer that to this, but having said that this is quite drinkable too.

Beer Greek Breakfast Borgquist
Now, THIS is a nice surprise. I wasn’t sure I wanted to have it because of the cherry aspect of it, but as it turns out it’s not really cherry-ish. Full roasty body with notes of smoke, leather, coffee & licorice in a quite dry flavour. Excellent.

Crisp with citrusy flavours. Good taste and bitterness. Very easily drinkable. I’d happily drink lots of this one in the future.

There’s definitely some sweetness there, but it also some dry roastiness. A nice full body - for 5.6%. Overall, this is quite excellent and could probably easily convert “the Guinness crowd” 😉😄

“Soft”. Fruity. A bit of citrus and its bitterness but not much. Okay but a bit too sweet for me tbh.

Stone fruit flavours and bitterness. Very clean taste. Easily drinkable. Excellent.

The bitterness hits first, then comes the fruity flavours like orange, lemon, guava and lime. It all gives a slightly tart finish. Normally I love citrus flavours, but this is just a bit too fruity for me.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Borgquist
Aroma of chocolate. Flavours of coffee, chocolate and bourbon. It’s kinda sweet but not as sickingly sweet as you’d expect - probably because it has a nice roastiness as well. A bit boozy, but not too bad. Delicious. Thanks to PapaV for sharing ♥️🍻

Always a fantastic impy with a really good espresso flavour. Excellent!

My first thought was “RASPBERRIES” which is then followed by chocolate and coffee flavours. Sweet and roasty at the same time, with a liiiitle bit of tartness. I wouldn’t want more than one bottle at a time, but it IS very delicious.

FINALLY a beer with some bitterness in it! Full fat juicy and fruity body, with a really good flavour - and as said; some bitterness too. It works and I’m happy.

This is not a beer - it’s a perfumed fruit punch. Not what I want ... but then I’ll only have to drink it once now that I do know.

Low on bitterness but high on fruitiness and flavour. If I can’t have the bitterness I want, then this is a great compromise. Excellent!

LOTS of coffee and roasty bitterness. I love coffee in stouts, but this just seems a bit unbalanced. Still, I do still like it.

The Great Square of Pegasus Borgquist
Very fruity and juicy. Not much bitterness. The flavour is fine, but overall this is just another forgettable DIPA. Who do I have to fuck around here to get some bitterness (apart from my Ex)? 😆

Seems like a lifetime since I had this on tap, but today I’m drinking it at home. Fruity and very well balanced bitterness. All in all a very delicious DIPA.

Lots of coffee in the aroma. Body is a bit thin, but that is to be expected for a 6% ABV beer, but don’t let that scare you away - it’s excellent. Good bitterness and flavour. Very “clean”. I like it.

Very fruity and a full body with definite tropical flavours of pineapple and grapefruit. A bit of sweetness and low of bitterness, but somehow pretty balanced too. Not my usual go-to style, but this is pretty excellent.

Very fruity with some sweetness but very little bitterness - and that’s the exact opposite of how I prefer an IPA. Would be a good thirst quencher on a summer day, but I would be craving something less fruity and more bitter.

First beer in 2 months. Thank God that’s over (the break from beer, not the beer itself), LOL. Nice and crisp IPA. Just what was needed to get started again 😅 🍻

Single Hop Tomahawk IPA Borgquist
[Backlog from Ratebeer, 2015] On tap. Murky amber. Aroma of malt and hops. Taste is of malt, fruits, hops, caramel and butter. Bitter finish. I would've liked some more hops but that doesn't really matter as it has a great taste just the way it is.

[Backlog from Ratebeer, 2015] On tap. Thick aroma of malt, sugar and fruits. Taste is of malts, lots of darker fruits, vanilla, molasses & booze. Medium body and carbonation. Okay, I guess, but I didn’t love it. I think I expected a bit more body from it.

[Backlog from Ratebeer, 2015] Weak hoppy aroma. Taste is of malt, hops, caramel, fruits and bread. Full body and soft carbonation. Hoppy finish. What it lacks of hops in the aroma it makes up for in the taste - very hoppy and quite smooth.

On tap 2013. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma is fresh and citrusy. Taste is bitter with loads of hops, grassy and citrusy spices - the ginger no doubt. Aftertaste is bitter but not too intense. A little bit sour though. Okay.
