De Prael Corry

Brewed by Brouwerij de Prael
Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Blond, thin head. Really unpleasant aroma that reminds me of a swimming pool. Bleach, chlorine? Thin texture. Flavour is dry and a bit hoppy but the bleachyness comes through too. The disgusting aroma ruins this beer.

Tap at the Pintelier, Groningen. Yellow blond beer with white head. Fresh lemonlike aroma, sweet. Tastes like an Indian pale ale, bitter in the finish.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 1 Aug 2009) Cloudy golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with apricots, orange and a hint of yeast. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of apricots, citrus, a touch of yeast and a generous, spicy bitterness in the finish. A slight alcohol bite as well. More than medium body, rather sweet. Very tasty and very nice beer.

Tap @ Hazeburg Bruin Bier Cafe te Ermelo. A hazy golden colored beer, with a thick foamy head. The aroma of sweet fruits, with malts with a little hop bitterness. The taste is bitter dry and a some sparkling. There are fruits like citrus and a little berries. The aftertaste gets dryer some bitterness.

Tap, Café Morshuis. Orange blonde color, cloudy. Earthy bitter flavor with hints of melon and raspberry. Hints of raspberry and metal in the aroma. Metal aftertaste. Diacetyl. Not good.

Tap at Cafe Studio, Haarlem: Clear orange coloured brew, with an sweet taste like an Gulpener Dort, but sweeter.

(Draught@De Mug, Middelburg) Opaque orange with a medium, lasting head. Mild aroma of honeyish malt. Pale-malty, grainy flavor with quite a bit of bitter, grassy hops. Medium body, soft carbonation. A plain, but easy-going brew.

On tap at ’t Arendsnest. Nice orangey colour, white head. Sweet and fruity aroma, followed by slightly sour and sweet maltiness. Not quite there.
