PapaV

PapaV

• have to agree with Julie J. 🎯 • lovely new one from the already talented guys at EBeLtofT • slightly trop’fruity, citrusy and rather full bodied as a DIPA, but with that easy access and high drinkability from an IPA • would love to drink again ☀️😎

PapaV

• backlog | 26/11/22 • canShare by Marco 👍🏽 • 7th • fine pairing to the sea bass dish with scrambled eggs and chives

PapaV

• bottle from one of sis’ journeys 👍🏽 • I have 11 check•ins of a Bock / Helles /Maibock out of around 7000 - not a style I drink a lot 😉 • if you’re into something like a Lager this could be a solution, but this one is definitely more sweet/malty

PapaV

• too thin and not edgy enough • chili, cinnamon and some dark chocolate notes, but it ends riding on two horses and gets a bit lost in mediocrity • but for a lover of low or middle ABV Stouts it will succeed • only small chili burn • crazy PapaV•day!

PapaV

• earlier today • bottleShare with Rikke • sweetly carrot notes along a apricot flavored sour feeling • BB: 24/06/29 • nice introduction to Rikke

PapaV

• well deserved fyraftens•🍺 after almost 11 hours of work 😓 • clean, crisp and slightly floral Pilsner from the small brewery in Hvidovre • crackers/biscuits nose • smooth palate • easy drinker and perfect to this evening • Slowburn & PilsnerS = 💛

PapaV

• crisp • light • hoppy • 1st balcony beer in 2022 ☀️😎 • hope for the upcoming beers to be more flavored • very easy drinker, but does its job without being a remarkable SIPA

PapaV

Rather fruity opening: elderflower, yellow apple • not that fruity flavor, but small sweetly apple-ish opening with a more solid bitter finish • medium body • hops: Sabro and Motueka • somewhat unknown style to me, but as a summer Lager it might work…

PapaV

Citra, Amarillo, Loral and Patho are the selected hops here • my 1st real Session IPA in 2022 after a day with Spring cleaning and a pleasant Spring sun ☀️ reasonable body in the 4.7 • citrus & subtle trop’fruity flavored • short finish • Tre.sjuttio

PapaV

Sorry, maybe not intended as sweet as Heaven from the Monks, but the BA here doesn’t appeal to my tastebuds • mostly a boozy and strong version • base beer is more hard roasted I guess • Heaven Hills barrels • 12.0% • give it a couple of years maybe •

PapaV

1st check-in • Super freshissimo • canned: 22/12/21 • pleasant and promising, but as I feared a bit too green and harsh to be evaluated deservedly •

PapaV

It has been over a year since my last Ølsnedkeren beer, and I wasn’t too thrilled with their level then and some years before • although being recommended this doesn’t change my view • west coast kinda style • oaty smooth • but nothing new to the table*

PapaV

Something happened to Månestøv… 😯 or somebody dusted the moon off… 😉 Take a look at the beer at my 1st check•in!!! 😳 It’s another kinda dust! 👀 • much more fruity, but not that Indian • pleasant Pale Ale/NE IPA • canned 24.09 = hops a bit gone, but OK

PapaV

My 2nd / 1st on can | If I didn’t know it I’d say this version was a Gose! Nice salty note in the sea of tartness. Orange/gooseberry nose. Nicely tamed fruit flavored and the salty note as mentioned. Nice thirst quencher on the top of summer. Same rating

PapaV

Backlog | 17/06/21 | “Davvero niente male”, come addetto Dario 1. Però nemmeno niente straordinario secondo me. Un’ IPA al livello medio e non indimenticabile.

PapaV

Backlog | 17/06 | Post match beer + time for evaluation: Let’s pray for three points for 🇩🇰 against Russia on Monday. At the same time shouldn’t the Belgians stop here, but crush Finland just a little bit ( sorry Jan R. 😉 ). THAT would be The Gate‼️

PapaV

Backlog | 17/06/21 | Saying welcome to my ‘Bror’ and finishing him off in drinking some German Hefeweizen. We’re preparing the landskampsplatte before the EURO2020 game: Denmark vs Belgium. As said before: THIS Gate is fresh! No expert me, but here 🥊💥☄️

PapaV

Backlog | 17/06/21 | Game’s on: 2nd match in the EURO2020 between Denmark 🇩🇰 and Belgium 🇧🇪 1st match after the sad incident with Denmarks no 10, Christian Eriksen, who suddenly felt to the pitch with cardiac arrest. Luckily he survived the incident ❤

PapaV

Too sweet, and I probably don’t fancy the lychee flavor in IPAs. And maybe I should take a break from these marmalade TIPAs as well. BIG, yes, but I’m not overly impressed. Bit boozy as well. Luscious performance by L’Italia vs Switzerland 🇮🇹 3-0 🇨🇭

PapaV

3rd go and freshissimo - Canned: 09/06/21‼️ Rumor says it’s the best D&B beer ever! Among DIPAs I have three at around 4.5, but this is definitely the best of the newest. Luscious haziness and tamed tropical notes wrapped in a tight grapefruit finish 🥊

PapaV

Passion fruit, pineapple and apple aroma. Easy tart flavor and quite fruity. Pineapple, but passion fruit to make it a balanced Sour. Somewhat thin finish to the ones from Fermenterarna yesterday. But basically fine. 0-2 at Sassoulo 🤍🖤

PapaV

2 weeks ago I had my 1st small sips of the Bourbon BA George. This evening I decided to take the rest. Zero carbonation naturally. But a much more balanced BOY. Chocolate, bourbon in nose. Dark essence with tamed bourbon. Capsule on, but the LiON is tamed

PapaV

Celebrating my best friend/brothers 56 years birthday AND the fact the bars and restaurants are opening for service next Wednesday‼️ Hell yeah 😎😍☄️🍺🔥 Another fine level of DIPA performance from Dry & Bitter!

PapaV

More and more rarely I feel tempted to pop such a big bottle by myself. Sharing is so much better! George as it is is likeable. This feels so much more boozy than I didn’t expect. Strong liquor like... like an untamed lion! And too unpredictable. No good

PapaV

Tropical. Bits of marmalade notes. But somewhat thin in palate.

PapaV

Brewed at Svinninge/TOØLCity. 9.0% full fruity/tropical DIPA. Mango, orange, pineapple and such from the usual basket. Quite easy drinker, yet adequate body. Lovely soft palate. My 1st ‘quite new’ Mikkeller in a while and it feels good.
