This month I brewed a couple of batches of beer and thought my own brews were about ready. While I like to drink my own brew, I don’t think it’s one of the best beers I tried this month. Bummer!

Paradox Jura
Thick, creamy, oily, massive ABV (15%) but oh so good! I absolutely love this one, but at € 8.99 I won’t be drinking too many of them.

Horndog Barley Wine
Another new release from Flying Dog. While previously their beers were very okay, I feel they’ve been improving with what I tried lately. The Wild Dog series, this one, the single hop Simcoe IPA. Keep it up!

Wildeman Farmhouse IPA
A terrific and ‘different’ IPA. I loved it but I had to take some time getting used to it. I rated it four stars, but when tried again I would go for five.

Bitch Please Islay Cask
When I poured it I thought it was very light coloured for a stout, but that was because it’s a barley wine instead. Dumb-ass. The smoke is spot on but I didn’t really taste the shortbread and fudge all that much.

Bush Ambree
An entirely different style of beer, with a hint of lambic-like flavours to it. I liked it a lot and I think it is a good starting point for me to get more into the lambic and gueuze beers.

Mort Subite Geuze
My first Gueuze in many years and I liked it. I also tried some Lambics this month which I really didn’t like but maybe I just have to get used to the style. Very interesting and some variety to the endless Abbey style beers from Belgium
