Brüeprint Brewing Company Reviews

malvrich	3.2 Brüeprint Brue 42 Month old pint can A: Rich orange gold color with a short but lasting off white head. S: Muted malt forward aroma of caramel, toast and citrusy hops. T: Bitter evergreen hop notes of pine and juniper fleshed out a bit by grapefruit or lemon pith. Faint toasty malts don't live up to the nose. M: Light, crisp and dry with stiff carbonation and clean finish. O: Fairly one dimensional pine bomb. Not bad but seems to be missing something. Sunday, October 30, 2022
cheap	1.3 Brüeprint Saison de Brue OK. this I think is going to turn out like the 'don't judge a book by its cover' thing. I see fig and honey on the cover of this can, so I am expecting fig and honey. It pours from a can, retrieved from total wine, into a glass and has a totally clear pale look with a nice big fluffy head. It does have a pretty looking rolling effect out of the can and into the glass. Nose is a somewhat off saison olfactory of mild weirdness. First taste however, is not what I was expecting. Its quite bitter and rude, even for a saison. Strange strong volatile near phenolic astringent bite. The alky is upfront on this one. Yes, even somewhat nasty. Let me see you find the fig and honey in this, I dare you; its virtually absent. Bait & switch I'll say on this one, quite disappointing: Sorry brewprint. Wednesday, July 13, 2022

beerme31	3.5 Brüeprint Brue Mulligan Light golden color white head. Grassy and bready aroma. Light sweet taste. Finish is a little sticky, light sweetness and some bitterness as well. Overall well done German style pils, represents the style appropriately. Friday, May 27, 2022
beerme31	2.6 Brüeprint Brüe 32 draft at cary brewery. Very mild malty nose with some light pine. Taste was very light, really watery quite frankly. Some more strength in the finish with some light bitterness. Not very impressed with this one. Friday, May 27, 2022
cheap	2.8 Brüeprint Bruevarian Can from total wine NC. Big foaming pour from a can. Very lively carbonation on the palate, nice. Man, I'm liking the cutting co2 in this brew. Actually burns the roof of my mouth a bit! Taste initially is very good hefe. Comes across like the old country stuff. In the middle it has a little bit if processed uncivil bitter bite in it. Yes, typical banana and just maybe a little bubble gum, but not as much as it should be. In the end it really is a good imitation of the old country brew. Haven't had a good hefe for a while and this is getting close to good, except that mild to medium processed feel it has on the finish. Tuesday, November 23, 2021
hman43	3.6 Brüeprint Bruevarian It pours hazy yellow with an off white head. There are plenty of banana flavors with dough and a bit of spice. Sunday, June 13, 2021
hman43	4 Brüeprint Coconut Lime Sour It pours golden and clear with a white head. There are pina colada flavors. it has coconut, lime, and lightly sour citrus. Friday, August 7, 2020
arkinjd	3.2 Brüeprint Zambrüeni Sunday, May 17, 2020
arkinjd	1.9 Brüeprint Pale Brüe Eyes Thin. Too much citrus. Sunday, May 17, 2020
arkinjd	3 Brüeprint Brüe Diamond Melon and pine. A bit sweet. Sunday, May 17, 2020
freekyp	4.4 Brüeprint Belgian Dark Strong (Bourbon Barrel) 2017 vintage in bottle. Pours deep reddish brown with a minimal ring if beige head. Oak and vanilla are there alongside deep whiskey, raisin and plum. Just a little sweet with a light nimble mouthfeel due to the champagne yeast in play. Complex and strong, but not overly heavy. Thursday, December 5, 2019
slowrunner77	3.8 Brüeprint Coconut Lime Sour Cloudy yellow pour. Big lime and coconut arma and flavor. A little sunscreeny but you adjust to the intensity quickly. Light to medium tart and acid on the palate. Nice. Wednesday, October 16, 2019
ajnepple	3.4 Brüeprint Saison de Brue On tap at Gigi's Pizza (Raleigh). Clear, deep golden appearnace with a white head. Aroma of farmhouse yeast, fruitiness, mild honey/malt and light floral notes. Similar flavor, adding mild to moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body with a smooth finish. Solid. Tuesday, August 6, 2019
lavaaaron	2.1 Brüeprint Coconut Lime Sour Draft pour. Can’t handle this. Smells like fake lime and coconut. Tastes the same and like astringent bathroom cleaner. Friday, June 21, 2019
lavaaaron	2.9 Brüeprint Red, White, and Brue Can pour, a brownish pink color. Lightly dank strawberry aroma almost like they are a touch bad. The yeast takes over on this and imparts a musty flavor that over powers the berries. There is a lingering bitterness that shields the wheat notes and only a hint of blueberry comes through at the end, blink and you will miss it. Friday, June 21, 2019
lavaaaron	3.4 Brüeprint Double Dribbrue Can pour, clear gold color. Aromas of soap and pine. There are intense grape notes, clover honey and pine needles. The aroma is quickly countered by the bitterness. A very light hint of sweetness up front helps to balance this. A traditional IPA that does a good job of balancing the hop aromas and bitterness. Saturday, May 4, 2019
cheap	1.5 Brüeprint Brüe Diamond Got this american IPA can form the son in law, thanks Ben. Slight haze on pale. Perfume permeates the nose. Nice big head. Big bitter hazy ipa taste, that is if haze has a taste. Thick and mouth coating resin. Yes, big nasty bitter on style IPA all th way, what else can be said, ubiquitous hazy IPA. Tuesday, January 15, 2019
cogitus	4.3 Brüeprint Edinbrüe (Cabernet Sauvignon, Brett) On tap at Triangle Wines, Southern Pined NC Nose gives me oak, grape must, and malt, hint of Brett. Gorgeous red/bronze color, little head which didn't linger. Flavor is outstanding, malty tingly scotch ale, oak and grapes and Brett obvious but not dominant. The 'tingly' tastes similar to carbonation but high carbonation is not evident in mouthfeel/body. Overall outstanding. Tuesday, January 1, 2019
emacgee	3.6 Brüeprint Hopbruëcal IPA (Idaho 7) Super clean and light (color and weight) straw blonde pour with two fingers of loose foamy white head. Nose shows fruity notes, citrus, a grassy quality, musty fruit, melon. Smells light....it's like I can smell the lack of body or weight behind the aroma. Friday, November 16, 2018
AGAquino	5 Brüeprint Edinbrüe Thursday, November 8, 2018
FROTHINGSLOSH	3.5 Brüeprint Oktobruefest Alisa brought this one back from NC. +++ Sampled from a can this beer poured a dark caramel brown color with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was toasty malts, caramel, yeast, wood, cola and hints of cocoa and dark fruit. Nicely complex on the nose. The flavor as toasty malts, bread crust, golden fruit, wood, caramel and hint of smoke and some astringency. Long finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Monday, October 29, 2018
leebarron	3.4 Brüeprint Oktobruefest Coppery color okay flavor good aroma and flavor. Aftertaste. It great Thursday, October 18, 2018
hershiser2	3.6 Brüeprint Standard Sour (Cherry, Lime) Pint can from Sam's Quik Shop in Durham. Pours clear pale pink with a small white-pinkish tinted head. Nice aroma of sweet cherry, bitter lime, mint, orange oil. Flavor is tart lime, cherry, orange, bread crust. It's not overdone and it's really just a hint of sourness. Nice flavor combo. Tuesday, October 16, 2018
pandapandapanda	3 Brüeprint Standard Sour (Briarberry) Friday, July 20, 2018
pandapandapanda	2.1 Brüeprint Pale Brüe Eyes Opaque amber with moderate off-white head. Mild retention and lacing. Smell is wheaty and sour/ripe fruit. Taste is very piney and floral with slightly bitter aftertaste. Thin bodied. Saturday, July 14, 2018
jennihul	4 Brüeprint Edinbrüe (Oak Barrel) Friday, July 13, 2018
superspak	3.9 Brüeprint Edinbrüe 12 ounce can into snifter, canned on 7/28/2016. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, and red apple; with light notes of roast, toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, and red apple; with light notes of roast, toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, red apple, light roast/toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and lightly slick/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this is a very nice scotch ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Rich malts, modest fruity yeast, and light earthy hop balance against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. I am sure the age has improved it, even though I have never had it before. Sunday, May 27, 2018
asterixes	3.7 Brüeprint Saison de Brue Friday, February 23, 2018
HourGlass13	3.7 Brüeprint Midnight Brue Poured pitch black, with a thin tan ring of head. Aroma of coffees, roasted barley, molasses and peat. Flavor is some coffee, with a semi sweet chocolate like finish. Saturday, December 23, 2017
cogitus	4.5 Brüeprint Midnight Brue There are apparently three variants - plain, barrel aged, and (the one I've rated) barrel aged with Brett and Blackberries. That third one is amazing... if you can find it. (I have two more tucked away to age further) Cocoa, berries, bourbon barrel and leathery Brett funk. Saturday, December 23, 2017
freekyp	3.6 Brüeprint Brüe 32 Clear amber pour with a frothy white head that leaves light legs of lace. Nose shows caramel malt, pine and citrus. A nice peppery hop character is the highlight of the flavor here. Love the hoppy fade as it balances deftly atop the lightly sweet caramel backing. Tuesday, November 21, 2017

hman43	3.2 Brüeprint Oktobruefest It pours clean amber with an off white head. It is malty with bread and bread crusts. Monday, September 11, 2017
MKromhoutNC	3.6 Brüeprint Edinbrüe Somewhat heavier then an IPA, smooth, definite hints of scotchland.... not best beer, but something different and good ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Friday, September 1, 2017
nearbeer	3.3 Brüeprint Edinbrüe 12 oz. canned 07/31/2017. Light copper with a thin film on top. Nose is earthy toffee and toasted nut. Flavor is toffee, popcorn, earthy tea leaf, toasted pecan and a bit of evergreen. Medium body has medium-plus fizz and a decent balance. Sunday, August 27, 2017
nearbeer	3.4 Brüeprint Pumpkin Spiced Edinbrue 12 oz. canned 07/25/2017. Mostly clear orange-copper with a small covering of creamy foam. Aroma of earthy squash, cinnamon, vanilla and sassafras. Flavor is the same with a bit of cocoa and toasted nut. Medium body has low-medium fizz and a decent balance. Little too much spice, but can actually taste the pumpkin which is nice. Had this first and then the base beer and it’s actually better with the spice addition which is a bummer. Sunday, August 27, 2017
Luvystypotables	2.9 Brüeprint Jingle Brue A light ginger and molasses aroma, reminiscent of gingerbread cookies. Pours a reddish brown color with a tan head, nice lacing. A subdued taste of gingerbread, with a watery body and a sweet malt finish. Wednesday, August 2, 2017
Luvystypotables	3.7 Brüeprint Brüe Diamond An aroma of tropical fruit, and citrus, a clear caramel color with a white head. A very pleasant taste of tropical fruit, and caramel. Medium with a bitter hop finish. Wednesday, August 2, 2017
chinchill	3.6 Brüeprint Edinbrüe From a can at the Burning Can Festival (NC) As expected, this wee heavy has a clear dark brown body with a good tan head. Medium body and carbonation. It’s a solid if unexceptional (ignoring the NC origin), malt forward wee heavy with no detectable flaws. Lingering dark malt aftertaste. Mildly bitter. Tuesday, July 25, 2017
bconch	3.4 Brüeprint Brüe Diamond Orange color, tropical fruit nose. Big hop bite up front finishes into a good malt backbone. Not much flavor on finish though. Tuesday, July 4, 2017
bconch	3.3 Brüeprint Saison de Brue Funky nose, lemon and spice. Taste follows with the sweetness of the honey peeking thru. Enjoyable. Saturday, July 1, 2017
bconch	3.4 Brüeprint Zambrüeni Crisp, refreshing lager. Definitely crushable. Wont win any awards but easy to drink on a hot day. Saturday, July 1, 2017
cogitus	4 Brüeprint Summer Sour On tap at Triangle Southern Pines. Slightly opaque, rocky white head. Aroma is tropical fruit and lacto sourness, flavor is only mildly sour though, with some citrus. Nice mouthfeel, moderate body and middling ’clinginess’. Mild sweet-tart, very flavorful and refreshing. Not a fan of the nose so much, but very nice on the patio Jun 30th. Another Brüeprint win. (I love the blackberry brett version of Midnight Brue) Friday, June 30, 2017
smroush	3.4 Brüeprint Edinbrüe Aromas are all malt - caramel and toffee. Color is dark amber with a small white head. Taste is a bit sweet; very light bitterness. Palate is boozy, just a bit lively carbonation. Overall pretty simple, but pretty much what a wee heavy scotch ale should be - malty, boozy, sweet with the lively carbonation providing some nice balance. Tuesday, May 9, 2017
