St. Paul – White

Leave a reply

The brewery “Brouwerij Sterkens” is located in Meer, Belgium. The brewery was founded in 1651 and is a family business through 14 generations.

I bought this beer from a wine shop in Odense, Denmark at the price of 4 Euro for a 330 ml bottle at 4,8%

Beautiful yellow and white in the colour.

Gigantic sized head with a fine foam on the top.

Powerful and balanced fruit aroma with peaks of fruited, flowery and sweet hops.

CO2 is too weak, somewhat flat in the taste and mostly a mix of hops and flowers in the taste.

Overall rating 77 / 100

Duvel – Belgian Strong Blond

Leave a reply

I bought this small, but powerful, Belgian Blond at the price of ? Euro, at a local wine shop in Denmark. It comes in a 330ml glass bottle at 8.5% alcohol. That certainly illustrates the STRONG!

This beer is bottle fermented.

Beautiful hazy yellow and very consistent. Great big head of foam.

Sweet fruit in the aroma and it comes off with a good strenght.

Powerful CO2, good balance in the taste between the full bodiedness, huge sweetness and slight bitterness in the after taste.

Overall rating 85 / 100

The first beer from Brasserie Du Bocq was from 1858 when Martin Belot, a farmer in Purnode, Belgium started brewing. The Brewery was incorporated into a limited company in 1949. The production reached 104,000 hectoliters in 2015.

I bought this 4.5%, 330 ml bottle of beer in a local supermarket in Odense, Denmark at the price of 2.5 Euro.

Light yellow and white in the colour.

Large head with a rough structure and a fine foam top.

Sweet fruit, some flowers and spiced hops in the aroma.

Low CO2, sweet taste with a light and fresh after taste. Slightly hoppy in the end.

GB – Hvede Ale

Leave a reply

The Gourmet Brewery was founded in 2005 in Denmark, today the two originally owners are no longer a part of the brewery and it is owned by the Harboe brewery group.

I bought this large wheat ale from a supermarket in Denmark, it is a 750 ml bottle at 5,0% that cost 4 Euro.

Good looking yellow colour with a bright and white shine to it.

Grand big head with a rough structure and a fine foam on the top.

Perfumed in the aroma, almost too much, slightly wheated tones.

Powerful CO2 along with sweet flower and wheat notes are the first impressions this presents, easy to drink, fresh but with a short finish.
