Hermod (1480) - Vantaa, FINLAND - AUG 4, 2011
33cl bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured brownish color with a huge lacing white head. Sweet, fruity and spicy aroma. Flavor was caramel malt, pineapple and spices. Very enjoyable strong ale. Another great beer from this brewery!

Hazy off-red brownish color, very bad appearence. Smell and taste decent, carbp and body suit the beer.

Arayaga2 (1435) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 9, 2011
Dark gold with a cm of dense white head. Aroma is clove spiced honey and cider, and taste is the same with prickly hops and grassy notes into the finish. €2.2

DutchDrebus (1112) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - JUN 27, 2011
This beer tastes a lot better then it smells. More beers from ’t IJ don’t smell very nice in my opinion. Could’ve gotten a better score if i didn’t had that signature ’t IJ smell.

lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUN 26, 2011
330 ml bottle.
Pours a dark orange colour with a large, foamy, white head. Aroma of sweet tropical fruits, toffee and some spices. Flavour of sweet caramel malts, tropical fruits, some nuts, spices and flowers. Lovely dry fruity finish. Very tasty.

Grima (1200) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - JUN 15, 2011
Orange-brown color, with huge, fine pored head. Yeasty, hoppy smell that suggests a higher ABV. Starts yeasty-malty, and very hoppy bitter. The middle part is malty, again very yeasty, with slight herbal notes, very sweet, slightly alcoholic. Goes into a sweet and alcoholic finish, with a delicious herbal aroma.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 3, 2011
Würziger und ziemlich hefiger Antrunk mit leichter und passender Säuerlichkeit. Aus der im Mittelteil schwächer werdenden Hefigkeit entwickelt sich eine typisch kräuterartige Würzigkeit, die aber nicht allzulange anhält. Erst flacht sie etwas ab und wird dann von einer hellmalzigen Note abgelöst, die im Abgang dunkler wird und schokoladenartige Aromen entwickelt. Im Abgang zudem wenig fruchtig-hefig, kurzzeitig alkoholisch-kratzig. 13/11/12/11/13/11

Martinus (663) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - MAY 18, 2011
Hazy red copper colour, fluffy white head. Aroma of yeast, burned malts, sweet, fruit and some coffee tones. Some slightly sour twang. Flavour has burned malts, hops and burned malts bitterness, quite sweet and a pronounced tartness. (draught -taster- @ the brewery)
