Jack Kelly

90 Minute Imperial IPA Kelly

Father-in-law gifted bottled. I’ve come a long way since my days of sharing stouts only with him back in 2016…! Excellent, hop forward and bitter IPA. I make this the 60, 90 and 120 Minute IPAs sampled.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2022) Kelly

Special beer.

Oude Geuze Boon (2018-2019) Kelly

Something changed between now and Nov 2022 when I originally had this 2018-19 season bottle and not in a superb way.

Trop-Out Kelly

Again, not bad in and of itself but forgettable. “Tropical”, huh?

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Kelly

Mega.

Framboise Boon Kelly

2020. I like it. Not overbearingly sweet nor tart. Though I feel the cherry / kriek version has more character.

Hop Shop Kelly

Drop this in a core range for €2.50, no problem. Not remarkable but not offensive.

Gose To Hollywood Kelly

City Session IPA Kelly

Another winner from To Ol core range.

Supervulcano Kelly

This is a curious one. That chilli kick at the end is surprising each sip, even though I knew it was going to be there.

House of Pale Kelly

To Øl have a very strong core range.

Oude Geuze Boon (2018-2019) Kelly

Remarkable. I would love more geuze and lambic to make it over to us. Otherwise I might just have to make a trip to Belgium some time soon…

Kaerlighed Fall/Winter 2022 Kelly

Snublejuice Kelly

120 Minute IPA Kelly

I don’t know where to go with this one. Didn’t realise the ABV when I picked it up - 18%! Blows the head off you, a lot of alcohol burn. Surely technically excellent but I don’t think I love it. Mixed feelings so I’ll leave it unrated.

60 Minute IPA Kelly

Welcome to DC gift bottle.

Scarlet Dawn IPA Kelly

Centennial IPA Kelly

All Day Vacay Kelly

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Kelly

This got way better as it warmed - pull it out of the fridge a good hour before you crack in and 👌

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Kelly

Felt this could have done when more body. And wish it came out for Christmas - the cinnamon was a fun addition.

Undulate v9 Kelly

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2017) Kelly

KBS Kelly

House of Pale Kelly

Do Stuff Together Kelly

Not a whole bunch of character beyond the Lemondrop. Meh.

Mikkeller Super Cool Kelly

Murky like a dang swamp! Mystery hop varieties, none listed on the label. Pretty similar to the Hop Opera from a couple of weeks ago.

Marvelroast (2020) Kelly

A coffee stout gone ass ways. Nice to have all the coffee and adjuncts without the heaviness of a stout. However this was bottled nearly a year ago.

Jackie Brown Kelly

Roasty, bitter.

Breakfast Stout (2020) Kelly

A wonderful stout. Reminds me of the stouts my now father in law would feed me on my first trip to the USA when I used to only drink stouts. No barrel aged, pastry silliness.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Strawberry Kelly

Decent for what it is.

Ich Bin Raspberry Kelly

I keep trying to go back to & appreciate sours. This is ok, but one sour is fine for me every now and then.

Hop Opera Kelly

A great NEIPA, solidly executed by Milkeller.

Dirty Bastard (2020) Kelly

Warm. Whiskey. Sweet.

Oude Geuze Boon Kelly

Glad I discovered lambics. Special beers. This one is tart, with background fruitiness.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2015) Kelly

Wow! First lambic. Tart, sour. Pleasant. Not overpowering. Complex.
