Atsushi2	3.8 Caou Hop Hop Hop This is French beer . India pale ale. Appearance is like normal IPA. Smell is so good. Grassy and aromatic and hop domination . A bit bitter taste with a sweet fruit background . Monday, February 29, 2016
Depositaire	1.1 Kaouët Triple I don’t know if the bottle i drank was infected but I didn’t finish my glass. I served this beer in a trappist glass at 11°C. It was a cloudy liquid and there was a minimal head. About the taste, it was sweet but the taste of alcohol was too strong and fades others flavours. in your mouth, there was a light body and a thin feel but there was an average carbonation.

Holmen1	3.8 Caou Hop Hop Hop Flaske fra Holmens importkoffert, med Ovesen 17.5.15: højt skum og lett uklar kobbergylden farge. Søt aroma som minner meg om aprikosmarmelade. Floral smak med appelsinmarmelade og en dæsj kvae. Lekker ettersmak som tenderer mot det søtlige. Meget drikkbar, dette er raske leker (lekre saker). Sunday, May 17, 2015

Holmen1	3 Black Kaou't 0,33 flaske delt med Ovesen ombord på Fridtjofen: brunsvart med tett lysebrunt skum som svinner raskt. Mørk maltaroma med kaffe, vanilje, bjørnebær og solbærsirup. Samme i smaken, og ettersmaken peker i den søte retningen. God og passelig bitter avrunding, lett å helle innpå. Saturday, April 25, 2015

minutemat	2.6 Kaouët Triple 330ml bottle from Racines, Cassel. Never had the entire contents of a bottle gush out before, but it just happened with this. Shame. The salvaged remnants poured a murky yellow with bubbly white head. Marzipan aroma. Taste has a bizarre sweetness, almost artificial with some weird vanilla fudge notes. Never seem to have a beer in optimum condition from this brewery so it’s hard to judge but this one is plain odd. Monday, December 15, 2014
minutemat	1.4 Kaouët Orange Cannelle 75cl bottle from Racines, Cassel. A gusher that spunked half its contents all over me & the kitchen floor. Not a good start. Pours a murky brown with foamy beige head. Vague grimy malt aroma. Taste is a rather vague, nondescript malt taste with a spicy bitterness, and no discernible orange or cinnamon present. Very disappointing. Sunday, November 9, 2014
minutemat	2.2 Kaouët Blonde Dorée 330ml bottle from Racines, Cassel. Pours a slightly hazy amber with medium off-white head. Aroma is a little sweaty, and a touch salty. Taste is a bit flat, stale and savoury. Very odd. Saturday, November 1, 2014
PotjeBier	3.3 Caou Hop Hop Hop Cuvée Spéciale 2014 33 cl bottle from L’Abbaye des Saveurs, Lille, @ home. Golden blonde color, rather clear. Big, uneven off white head with thin layer retention, some lacing. Aroma’s: fruity and earhty & herbal hops. Retronasal there’s sweet malts, fruit, earthy hops. Flavor is moderate bitter with light sweetness. Medium bodied, rather low carbo. Finishes somewhat dry, still fruity, moderate bitter. Not quite a DIPA, but decent enough. Thursday, October 30, 2014
3fourths	3.5 Caou Hop Hop Hop From bottle. Highly effervescent, tall white head on a lightly hazed gold body. Impression of the nose is floral / perfumed lemon balm, wood oil, herb, dust, musty sweat sock (iso acid?), strong aged hop cheese odor. Sharp and bracing carbonation. Soapy and lightly astringent, dry, overly-phenolic, over-fermented, stark, herbal. Fun beer even not in the best shape. Not an IPA at all, closer in character to nebulous French Biere de Garde, but certainly hoppier than most. Sunday, September 21, 2014
3fourths	1.4 Kaouët Blonde Cuivrée Bottle from Racine’s in Cassel. Faulty. Isovaleric (sweat, cheese) and butyric acid / vomit in the nose. Malt is grainy and raw. Yeast is banana taffy. Medium body, sweet, sour, fizzy on the tongue before quickly falling apart. Wednesday, August 6, 2014
vipinvelp	3.4 Caou Hop Hop Hop Somewhat opaque yellow with huge white lasting, lacing, lip sticking foam head. Perfect. Decent bitter hop aroma, some spice. Tastes real nice bitter with some hay present. Bitter aftertaste, short lasting. (Kemmel 201407) Tuesday, July 15, 2014
jice	3.2 Lupul'In Matrae Ambrée presque brune. Mousse peu présente. Malt bien présent, relevé par l’amertume du houblon. Saturday, July 5, 2014
mike_77	3.2 Caou Hop Hop Hop Clear dark orange colour. Aroma is floral, hoppy and a bit soapy. Carbonation is very high. Nice floral hop taste with moderate bitterness. A bit of a yeasty edge to it. Sunday, June 1, 2014

Fin	3.6 Caou Hop Hop Hop Bottle from Terre de Boissons, Coquelles, Citi Europe, Calais consumed at home Thursday 13th March 2014 Pours warm gold/orange a slight haze with a white head that soon departs. A little orange on the nose, bittersweet in mouth, slightly sweeter but actually its very good. Hoppy but a slightly sweeter hoppiness, I like this, nice beer.

minutemat	3.3 Caou Hop Hop Hop 330ml bottle from a shop in Flanders somewhere. Taste is particularly hoppy, light and lemony with a distinct alcohol presence. Some sugary sweet and tropical fruity aspects poke their nose in as you work your way through, but on the whole not a bad beer. Thursday, March 6, 2014

Palate: thin, oily, short finish. Overall: lacking all around. Appearance is. So so. Thin, an decent stout but not great. A good stout but not wonderful. Wednesday, October 16, 2013
madmitch76	2.7 Black Kaou't 27th September 2013 Room 316 Tulip Hotel tasting with Ian and Colin. Opaque dark black beer with a big pale tan head. Palate is a little soft and airy. Semi dry. Vert light touch of dark malts. Little lactose. Touch of roast. Light dry finish. Inoffensive but dull. Monday, October 14, 2013
harrisoni	3 Kaouët Triple Bottle from Terre de Boissons, Calais. Clear orange amber colour with thick lasting ivory head. Spicy orange triple aroma. A little weird on the initial flavour in the mouth, but aroma and finish is pretty much a standard candied triple. Some sherbert on finish. Too sweet for me. It’s ok. Still a weird flavour in the middle of the mouthfeel. Tuesday, October 8, 2013
harrisoni	3.5 Caou Hop Hop Hop Bottle from Terre de Boissons, Calais. Clearish golden lasting white head. Hoppy aroma. A little thin in flavour in the mouth. Some sherbert hop on the finish. Some esters on aroma. It’s ok, some ok hop, Pretty drinkable, I mean it lasted a short time. So yes, quite a good hoppy more than averagely hoppy beer and certainly the hoppiest thing from France outside of Thiriez I’ve had. Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Theydon_Bois	3.1 Black Kaou't Bottle in room 316 of the Tulip Inn Bodegraven, post day I of Borefts ’13 thanks to Ian, 27/09/13. Light black with a thin tan head that clears to edgeing. Nose is roast malts, cocoa, earthy. Taste comprises burnt toffee, earthy, cocoa powder, light roast, ash. Medium bodied, moderate carbiantion - slightly prickly, dry finish. So so stout. Wednesday, October 2, 2013
harrisoni	3.3 Black Kaou't Bottle at Tulip Bodegraven. Black beer. Roast. Chocolate. Ok. Bit burnt. I thought ok. Friday, September 27, 2013
poech73	3.6 Caou Hop Hop Hop Bouteille de 33cl. Bière blonde à la robe cuivrée au col onctueux et persistant. Au nez, le houblon est à l’honneur agrémenté de senteurs florales et aromatiques alcool léger. En bouche, c’est un corps robuste et bien equilibré entre l’amertume assez forte mais comme un IPA américaine, la rondeur du malt bien présent et les saveurs aromatiques de la levure. En résumé : un nez herbacé et résineux, une attaque fruitée et moelleuse, suivie d’une amertume franche mais courte en bouche. L’absence de longueur est la surprise de cette bière qui dans le genre reste dans la moyenne. Sunday, August 18, 2013
erickok	2.9 Kaouët Blonde Cuivrée Golden bodied, clear and with only a small lace. Apple like aroma from the caramalt and yeast combo. Light spice but really quite similar to the dorée version. Taste is better, fuller and with a sour hint even. This really lifts the beer. Sunday, June 2, 2013
erickok	2.9 Kaouët Blonde Dorée Clear golden body with small lace. Clean yet present yeast, liquor like sweetness, raisins and apple juice. Strange. Light bitterness, small carbonation. Okay yet a strange aroma and dull taste. (33cl bottle from l’abbaye de Saveurs) Sunday, June 2, 2013
erickok	3.3 Kaouët Triple Golden hazy colour with large stable head. Simple malts, spice base. Light bitterness, smooth drinkable body and big bubbles in the start. No need for the high alcohol though, 10 percent? Full enough, sure, but needs more hops and inherit richness. (33cl bottle from Bierparadijs) Monday, May 27, 2013
erickok	3.7 Caou Hop Hop Hop Decent hop aroma, grassy and floral. Classic hop mix yet expressive enough. A Belgian blond, hopped up. Light bitter, smooth body, sweeter accessible bites but enough flavour to get this going. Not bad at all, working very well together. (33cl bottle from L?Abaye de Saveurs) Monday, May 27, 2013
fonefan	2.8 Kaouët Cuvée de Noël Bottle 750ml. w. swing top. Clear dark red brown colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting to diminishing, beige head.

Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20130215] Monday, May 27, 2013
erickok	3.3 Kaouët Brune Brown bodied, dark and tan head. Rustic malts, bready, spices, cinnamon buns. Decent sweet, Belgian base. Solid amour of bitterness, but sour, citric even. Odd, didn’t expect this. (33cl bottle from Abbaye de Saveurs) Saturday, May 25, 2013
