Raymond L. is drinking an Is That Spelt Ryeght? Glenburgie & Auchroisk Whisky Barrel Aged by Jopen
Dark, brooding, with a clear rye influence. The whisky barrels are playing hard on this one, but the beer handles it like a charm. Herbal, rye, caramel, whisky. Very nice one.

Raymond L. is drinking a Vink Heerlijk by Bird Brewery
Ah, finally an IPA with an old school firm bitterness, backed by the strong herbal rye flavours. Some fruity notes amidst the bitter storm and a lovely dark manuka honey note from the rye. Low sweetness. Good
Raymond L. is drinking a Hazy Weekend by vandeStreek bier
In the vast playfield of tropical juice bombs, this one turns out a bit pale. But with a fairly unique feature for this style: a surprisingly bitter finish, with a slight raw edge to it.

Raymond L. is drinking a Spring In The Hop by Jopen
Wow. Move over Mooie Nel. Crisp, fresh, tropical fruits, good amount of fresh citrus, light malt body. Near-perfect balance, good mouthfeel. Jopen shows how to brew a modern standard

Decent wheat ale with a fruity and herbal hop kick to keep things interesting. Melon, orange rind, slight mango-ish, mandarins, light clove. OK, but there would be no harm in turning up the volume a bit.
