Beer

[gnoff]

Last beer last night was a Swedish micro brewery x-mass beer.
Nils Oscar Kalasjulöl

I was quite drunk at that time though.

Compared two from the same brewery tonight, never tried them before.

Hoegaarden Grand Cru
and
Hoegaarden De Verboden Vrucht

both from bottles of 33 cl and both at 8.5% vol.

I like Grand Cru, got a nice smell and taste to it. A bit dangerous though, because not a big after taste, could easily be misstaken for a beer at 5%.

De Verboden Vrucht does not have such nice smell and taste as the former, but it's not bad either. Got a nicer darker colour to it also. This one you can sort of taste the alcohol on though.

After these two I feel a bit tipsy

I can imagine.

But today Inbev (the brewer) announced that the brewery in Hoegaaarden is going to be closed down, and that the entire production line is going to move to Jupile (Liege province, Belgium). This means, the end of Hoegaarden in Hoegaarden. I was already talking about Jupiler White. (or better Jupiler Blanche/WIt) But I guess that Inbev won't change the name of the Hoegaarden. They'd be stupid if they did so.

I read about it also.
Hopefully they won't change the Hoegaarden.

Last beer I had was a Delirium Noel, christmas beer with pink elephants

I read about it also.

As far as I know, Hoegaarden will be brewed. Only no longer in Hoegaarden.

Last beer: Mort Subite Kriek. Free from the Mort Subite brewery.

Right nog an Aventinus, dark strong (8.2%) weissbier from G. Schneider & Sohn

Very nice bottle

 

[gnoff]

Gonna compare two different Kriek tonight, both of em from Timemrmans

 

[gnoff]

So I tried the Timmermans Kriek from a 25 cl bottle and compared it to the Timemrmans Kriek Tradition from a 33 cl bottle.

The former has a more bitter smell and taste to it, the latter more to the sour side.

Both of them are ok, but the first one is better if I get to say so.

Now trying a Leffe Tripel against a Leffe Radieuse.

The Tripel is by far the best one in my book, the Radieuse is almost unpleasant beside the Tripel.

Tripel is golden in color and resembles the Leffe Blonde in smell and taste.
Radieuse has a dark red close to brown color. The smell is almost non existant and the taste is weak.

Both came from bottles of 33 cl, Tripel has 8.5% and Radieuse 8.2% by volume.

 

[gnoff]

Tried a Chestnut beer from Korsika today called Pietra. Bottle of 33 cl at 6%, nice taste and smell.

Also tried a Corsendonk Pater from Belgium, 7.5% bottle of 33 cl. Also good.

I found out that my mother like Michelob Ultra.

Had an american ale last night.

Goose Island Honker's Ale

Pretty nice, a friend of mine brought it home when he was in the states.

Bottle of 355 ml, didn't say how much %
English hoppy smell and taste to it.
