All good things must come to an end, even though I am already working on the sequel, but that will be after summer break. The experience has been quite good, nice beers to taste, a couple of them to cross out, but still they were part of the experience. This month has been the most diverse in the beers, and none of them was sweet 🙌 and that was good 😎
Here is the list, the last 6 of this season. I am on for season 2!
Poppels DIPA double india pale ale
Nice bitter IPA (I don’t get the “double” part). With a hazy amber, white light head and medium carbo body, it is a nice experience.
Smell of peach 🍑, orange 🍊 and pine 🌲. Taste of citrus, peach and orange, nice hops bitterness that remains aftertaste.
I don't know why, but something in the scent reminds me of a good bolognese pasta 🍝
Saison de Dottignies - Brasserie de Ranke
Farmhouse ale, I was expecting it a bit more "unfiltered".
Hazy amber, a bit darker than the IPA, with medium white head and medium carbo body.
Smell of yeast and citrus 🍋 and flowers 🌺. Fruity taste of citrus, peach… also yeast and grass, hops bitterness last aftertaste nicely.
I think of ... cheese 🧀 and crackers… or roasted crispy pork belly (in case you need some inspiration)

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen
Strange smoky beer. It has a dark brown body with a thick dense foamy tan head.
Strong smell of coffee and roasted malts, smoked bacon. But the taste is not as the smell, it has a lighter taste, some sweetness and malts, coffee, with a low carbo body.
Portugal the beer - Dois Corvos
Hazy Pale Ale. Its name already says a lot. Hazy yellow honey tone, medium white head, not very persistent (but with nice lacing). Smell of flowers 🌺, grapefruit and tropical fruits like mango 🥭 or passion fruit.
Taste of citrus and mango, with subtle bitterness not sweet
Barrio alto, bacalhau à Bráz, un par de Hazy Pale Ale Dois Corvos bien frias, noche perfecta…
Rye IPA - Big mountain brewing co.
Hazy brown amber tone, medium white head, not very persistent, medium carbo body.
Smell of flowers, grapefruit and citrus. Spicy and slightly sweet tones.
Taste of citrus (acid, really refreshing) and pines, with nice round bitterness and slightly sweet.
Triple Extra - Trappistes Rochefort
WOW, six months already gone, this is the last beer of the pack. As I said in the intro, it has been a great experience and the production team is working on season 2 😎 (se me nota?)
Hazy amber tone, dense thick white head, quite persistent, medium carbo body.
Spicy and quite complex beer, smell of grapefruit and citrus... and more, I guess it is the hops they use.
Taste of grapefruit and hops bitterness, you don’t notice it is a 8,1% beer.
