Licorice and chocolate, who knew that would work together? Well if it's Moersleutel and Kees, you know it will. Very interesting combination, but very well done. Choco more in nose, licorice in mouth. Some mint in the aftertaste. Thick, filming, heavy. #craftbeer#beer 🍻 #imperialsotut#beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon

Fantastic hospitality in the small Dordrecht city brewery. They brew small scale, 8000L a year with volunteers and students. You can visit them whenever they're open and they do have a great story! They even let me taste some wort :) 🍻
I visited them in the small amount of time I had in a somewhat long train connection, that I extended by another 30 minutes. Great find!
Flavor panel time! Once a month I get the opportunity to write (usually 12) short reviews of beer for an online shop. It keeps the tasting and description skills sharp! 🍻 #craftbeer#beer#review#beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon

Blonde - Saltaire Brewery - 4.0% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Light, refreshing with a pleasing citrus fruitiness #ale#beer#bier

Maximus, in collaboration with a liquor store and local beer club: Una Maximas, NZ rice lager.
👃🏻Grape, lime, peach, chives.
👁️ Light yellow, hazy. Stable white head.
👅 Dry, thin body, but the hop aromas make for a tasty brew. Very refreshing, and easy drinking. Very slight hop burn.
I received a box full of goodness from the Maximus #brewery
in Utrecht (NL), following the release of their newest special: Psycho Cyclops NEIPA. I tried it, and wrote a blog post about the experience!
Spoiler: it's smooooth, not bitter at all, and massively tropical.🍻
