3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Jur (146) - NETHERLANDS - APR 21, 2013
Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam.
Pour carefully, there is (oddly enough for this style) quite some sediment in the bottle. Is is slightly hazy amber, with a modest clear white head. Little more carbonation than normal for an IPA. The Dutch like some bubbles in their beer, but they are quite fine.
Nose is modest. Some earth tones, small hints bacon. Taste follows this, with also rye sourness. Smoked malts are there, but not aggressive. Mildly bitter finish. All flavours are well balanced and restrained. With the also modest ABV (6,2%) a very tasty and sessionable beer, which you might not expect from a smoked rye IPA. Very nice.
