medium white head, copper chestnut coloured body, fruity peach malts sweet caramel smell, medium co2 medium to high bitter caramel hops a bit acid malts some peach touch taste
Backlog: Aromat chmielowy, cięzkawy. Smak dosyć lekka goryczka z alkoholem. Ciężkie, ale przyjemne.
Aroma: herbs.
Appearance: golden, hazy, with a frothy, white foam head.
Taste: medium bitterness.
Palate: light body, thin feel, soft carbonation, bitter finish.
Very nice IPA, this brewery is quite underrated actually. Rich and fungy aroma and taste, it tastes like a NEIPA but also very close to an Imperial. Little bit too much on the IIPA side to be a NEIPA :P
Bottle from Mam and Dad’s holiday, Netherlands. Hazy orange-amber coloured with tropical fruit and pine flavours followed by citrus, grapefruit and more pine on the finish. Very good.
Hazy amber body. Off-white creamy head. Aroma of caramel, hops, ... well balanced. Heavily bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Obviously quite strong, yet very nice.
Tap@ujh tallinn. Golden hazy. Green hoppy, tea leafy english fruityness, herbsy nose. Med full bodied, smooth, sweetish, oranges, orabge zesty flavour. Finishes easy clean smooth. Light huskey. Pretty ok.

Color naranja claro, ligeramente turbio, con capa de espuma blanca de tres dedos de grosor (buena retención). Carbonatación media. Textura pastosa. Aroma maltoso, a resina, ligeramente cítrico y, a medida que va atemperando, se empieza a captar un olor ligero a perfume que recuerda a ginebra. Si se agita recuerda más y más a un Barley Wine. En boca vuelve a ser muy maltosa y resinosa, echo en falta algo más de lúpulo que ayude a balancear toda esa carga de malta caramelizada. Amargor medio. Seca. También se cuela algo de alcohol al final a medida que va calentando, pero nada que moleste. Curiosa pero nada del otro mundo.
Gebrouwen bij Brouwerij Slot Oostende. Van ’t vat. Koperkleurig bier met wit schuim. Geur: hoppig, fruitig, agrum, pompelmoes. Smaak: lekker hopbitter, pompelmoes, mooi in balans met de moutzoetigheid. Goede koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: bitter.
Very dark ruby brown, tanned lacing foam head. Nice aroma and taste, not extreme in its bitterness. (Goes 201704)
Drank with Kaspar in Cafe Van Ouds 25-3-17. Doesn’t taste like an IPA at all, interesting. Very very malty, some sweetness.
Botella de @Vivalabirra, Oviedo 26/02/17
Color amarillo, aromas frutales resinoso, sabor reisnoso, seco.
Bottled 330ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Unclear dark golden coloured, small creamy off-white head, hoppy nose with whiff of alcohol. Sweet malty, fruity hoppy, noticable alcohol and quite strong bitterness with notes of caramel in the finish. Pretty simple and easy-drinkable DIPA.
0.33 l bottle from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Višnja 666 and Goran. Murky dark golden, lasting off-white head. Light to medium hopped, fruity hops, some malts, also grainy. Bitter, thick texture, aromatic, alcohol hidden. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, bitter finish. Nice bitterness in this one.
33cl-fles van bij Bierhalle Deconinck te Vichte. U: Sterk wazig oranje-amber met een gebroken witte schuimkraag. G: Karamel, tropisch fruit, citrus en sinaasappelzeste. S: Tropisch fruit en karamel in de aanzet. Dit gevolgd door citrus en ananas. Een minpuntje is de nogal chemische afdronk. M: Medium body en medium carbonatie.
A bit hazy, red and orange colored beer with medium head. Aroma has toffee, sweet malts, flowers and fruits. Taste has malts, toffee, some fruits and berries, even strawberries. Slightly bitter end. Quite full body, low carbonation. Sweet, quite minimum hops.
Pours a hazy orange with sticky white head. Aroma is resin, grass, pine and soap. Surprisingly sweet taste. Not too much citrus bite. Grassy hoppy finish. Not bad.
A l’instar de la si Belle-Felur de la Brasserie De Dochter van der Korennaar dégustée la veille, la DIPA de la Brasserie Emelisse met à l’honneur une belle amertume portées sur les agrumes. La comparaison entre nos deux crus parait donc des plus pertinentes. Elles possèdent de surcroît des niveaux d’amertume comparable (EBU de 65 pour la DIPA contre IBU de 65 pour la Belle-Fleur). En verre, la DIPA d’Emelisse est couleur ambrée abricotée avec un très léger voile (EBC de 24,4, la Belle-Fleur présentant un EBC semblable de 25). La mousse est quasi inexistante, nappant de 2 à 3 mm la bière. L’effervescence est quant à elle moins marquée que sur la Belle-Fleur (ce qui est légèrement dommageable à la dégustation, l’effervescence de la Belle-Fleur permettant de mettre en valeur la fraîcheur de son amertume). Léger avantage donc à la Belle Fleur dont la mousse était plus appréciable.
Le nez de la DIPA, très expressif est tourné sur le pin, le pamplemousse et le candi. A la dégustation, l’attaque est sur les céréales, le candi et le pin avec une amertume dèjà marquée. La complexité est donc plus marquée que sur la Belle Fleur dont l’attaque est relativement discrète. L’amertume de la DIPA prend alors toute sa puissance, toujours sur les arômes de pin et de pamplemousse. L’arrière bouche est quant à elle plus dense que celle de la Belle Fleur, lui donnant davantage de corpulence. Cependant, cela a tendance à rendre l’amertume moins précise et incisive que pour la Belle Fleur. La présence d’un sucre résiduel un peu plus important accroit d’ailleurs cette impression. Le final est quant à lui très long, avec une amertume légèrement évolutive vers des notes épicées. Quant à l’alcool, celui-ci est bien dosé et accompagne comme il se doit l’ensemble d’une belle homogénéité.
En conclusion, la DIPA d’Emelisse est un produit d’une très grande qualité, laissant s’affirmer une amertume pointue sur un bel équilibre. Dans l’intention, la Belle-Fleur de De Dochter van der Korennaar reste cependant supérieure, son épurement permettant à l’amertume de s’affirmer complètement et la rendant plus expressive.
0.33 l bottle from ’Biermuda’, best before June 2016. Clear, dark amber with a medium large, creamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, moderately fruity and a bit resiny aroma of mango, orange jam, some honey and a bit of pine. Rather sweet and malty, almost cloying, a bit juicy, moderately fruity and a little resiny taste of mango, orange, tangerine, honey and hints of pine, followed by a long, quite bitter, dry and moderately resiny finish. Full body, very creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite tasty although too sweet and malty. Mouthfeel is very good, lacks maybe a bit of carbonation. Overall very nice!
Bottle 33. Belle rousse à tête blanche. Nez floral et fruité agrumes (plutôt orange), caramel, houblon. Bouche : l’amertume apparait tout de suite mais sans agresser le palais. Je goûte : orange amère, épices pimentés, résine de pins, caramel, d’autres choses encore ... très bonnes ! Enorme longueur en une amertume surprenante. Et une superbe production NL !
330mL bottle from International Beer Collector. BB 03/17
Pours a big rocky white head holding strong on a hazy copper body.
Punchy hop nose - cooked citrus, glace orange, leafy resin, green melon/mango sort of thing happening with a caramel malt presence.
Full body, oily texture, creamy sort of carbonation.
Packs plenty of character - leafy, woody, citrus hops, unripe tropicals, resiny, lingering with a big wallop of bitterness lingering on the finish.
Hefty double IPA, plenty of bitterness!
330 ml bottle, BB date 07.2014, probably from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 7.9%. EBU 65. Orange colour, large head, slightly off-white. Aroma of old jam / marmalade, some piney hops. Medium sweet flavour with plenty of piney hops, also notes of marmalade. Bitter finish / aftertaste.
Bottle shared by Jan, thanks. Lightly lacing, snow white, medium thick, stable head over a hazy orange blonde beer. Aroma of toasted onion or even garlic, grapefruit peel, old cheese, dried mango, paprika-flavored potato chips, orange, gin, toasted bread. Clean fruity onset with hints of green banana and passion fruit, medium carbo, smooth but ’full’, bit oily mouthfeel, pleasantly biscuity and lightly caramelly malt core, long resinous and aromatic hop finish, bittering in a gentle but effective way, piney and toasted sweet onion-like, grapefruity as well, paired with a hint of warming, gin-like alcohol. Excellent Dutch craft beer and excellent example of this style, even from this somewhat older bottle.
Bottle, 330 ml from Ščurk, Ljubljana. Shared with Miro B. and JFK10000. Pours dark yellow, medium white head. Caramel malty, fruity, hoppy, sweet, resinous, bitter finish. Creamy. Medium+ bodied.
33cl bottle. Hazy brownish golden colour with a nice off-white head. Citrus, toffee and pine in the aroma. Average carbonation and medium body. Taste is lightly sweet and medium bitter with caramel and piny notes. Overall, a good beer.
Bottle, pours hazy orange with a white head. Mainly sweet and bitter with pine resin, floral hops, caramel and biscuit. Ok.
Pours golden side of amber, decent foam. Aroma has some hop character but its mainly just sweet. Malt sweetness with a touch of herbal hops. Taste has these two sensations even more pronounced. Really sweet, even sickly sweet body, herbal bitterness wrapping up everything you can find here. Decent DIPA, not amazing but well, if it wasn’t that sweet I would probably drink this again.
Bottle at Broer & Zus, Beverwijk. Pours a hazy amber with a small offwhite head. Aroma of malts,resiny floral hops. Taste is moderate sweet and bitter, resiny hops, sweet malts, long resiny bitter aftertaste. Not bad.
