11.10.2007	Delirium Tremens	10	A strong candiate to be among the 5 things I would take with me to a deserted island.
10.9.2007	La Chouffe	10	een sjouff, dankjewel.
10/24/2007	Orval	10	There is a picture of a fish swallowing a ring on front of this beer. Meneer Andersen once told me the story about that but I have totally forgotten it. Now I have heard it again and it isn't actually so great. Otherwise a perfectly unique beer.
11.10.2007	Chimay Blanche (White)	9	Such a nice beer and a perfect candidate to enlight a dim Friday afternoon in November.
11/28/2007	Ciney Blonde	9	Taken in the second half of the Barca game, but only because 't Proeflokaal didn't have Bon Secours. As a replacement they don't get any better. However the moment when I finished my glass, Gudjohnsen was substituted for Ronaldinho. A horrible moment.
11/30/2007	Corsendonk Christmas Ale	9	Extremely good beer. A guaranteed Christmas spirit.
9/29/2007	Duvel	9	Duvel makes me feel well as hell.
12.2.2007	Ellezelloise Hercule Stout	9	Recommended by Bubbi himself. A very good choice indeed. Almost as good as picking Petur Petursson as the assistant coach of the Icelandic national team. GO PETUR!!!
10/28/2007	Girardin Gueuze Black Label	9	Brights up the mind with its rollercoster of superdry taste. It's likely that I would order this beer for the king and queen of Sweden, should we ever go out pubbing together.
12/16/2007	Hoegaarden Grand Cru	9	Besides the lable, it has nothing in common with its more famous white-beer brother. Excelent beer that I have had many times.
12.2.2007	Kasteelbier Blonde 11%	9	Had 1/3 of Kasteelbier while at the same time signing up for its beertasting at de Klooster. It's taste is kind of like Jon Pall, incredibly strong but gentle.
4.5.2008	La Guillotine	9	An excellent beer from Huyghe. It's not as good as its brother Delerium Tremens but goes pretty far. Frutty and extremely strong, it supports it's name very well.
11/25/2007	Maredsous 10	9	Was wondering for some time whether this was 8 or 9. Ended as a 9.
12/15/2007	NIce Chouffe	9	A very tasty Christmas brew from dAchouffe. They usually dont make mistakes with their beers. It didn't spoil the mood when the girl at the bar brought us an extra glass, for free. That's the true spirit of Christmas.
11.10.2007	Pauwel Kwak	9	Extremely nice beer and extremely nice glass. Always a bit of a ceremony around a glass of Kwak.
3.6.2008	Poperings Hommelbier	9	Excellent beer like its neighbours in Westvleteren and Watou.
2/25/2008	Rochefort Trappistes 8	9	Unlike the average ratings here on ratebeer I favour Rochefort 8 over nr. 10. Its not as strong nor has as much taste as the tenner but what he has is more enjoyable, so it's kind of a 'less-is-more' situation.
12.2.2007	St. Bernardus Abt 12	9	The Benny brew was the only thing that could ease my dissappointment with missing out on Espanyol - Barca because of some tv-money debate that is going on. Guddy even played 72 minutes! Abt 12 was lowered to 9 after I gave it an 8 in a blindfolded test.
1/26/2008	Tripel Karmeliet	9	Excellent beer, differs noticably from other tripels. Has been available on tap at Doerak all winter, but somehow I haven't ordered it until now.
4.5.2008	Val-Dieu Triple	9	Got this one by mistake at Bebop, and therefore it was half-price. The beer is in the 8 star category but getting something at half-price counts as well.
10/26/2007	Westmalle Dubbel	9	Lost a lot of money while enjoying this one. It somehow didn't matter.
2/23/2008	Westmalle Tripel	9	The Westmalle bar, next to the monastery itself, offers such strange things as Westmalle Triple blended with grenadine and Icelandic Coffee (Coffee with Baileys). Their beers are in a special class.
2.2.2008	t IJ Columbus	9	After my first beertaste I asked the beer-expert what beer he recommended that had a unique taste. His choice was t IJ Columbus which also turned out to be fantastic. The jewel of the great t IJ brewery, which probably is the best Dutch brewery.
12/19/2007	t IJ Paasij	9	I was drinking it and thought it actually was Zatte. But I was wrong. Meanwhile I spoke about the possibility that I had been hard on the tIJ beers by only giving them and 8. So Paasij will get a 9.
12/16/2007	Achel 8 Blond	8	Since there were only 2 t IJ Columbuses available in the Doerak yesterday I had to choose something different. The 'newest' Trappist beer, Achel, was an informed and good choice. Bubbi even remarked that the choice was enviable.
11.10.2007	Boon Oude Geuze	8	Classy brew. Few things are as good as a good Geuze.
12/15/2007	Brigand Xmas	8	A very nice taste and in a very nice glass. Was ordered because Petur demanded so. It's rare to have Petur in such a demanding mood.
11/20/2007	Brugse Tripel	8	Extremely refreshing. The strongest beer I had in Brugge and well worth its price.
11/20/2007	Brugse Zot Dubbel	8	Although my body was in a hopeless state for beertasting the atmosphere of the Halve Maan lokaal demanded that I engaged with the Zot Dubbel. It turned out to be the right thing to do with the rich malt taste recharging my batteries again to full capacity.
2/21/2008	Budels Bock	8	The "Man van Drank" in Rotterdam has a Budels flag outside his store for a reason.
12/16/2007	Bush de Noël (Scaldis Noel)	8	Unlike the American President, the Bush beers are top notch. It's Christmas brew could thus not be missed when it was offered last night.
3.2.2008	Chimay Bleue (Blue)	8	Scores very high by most people. Also with me, but is in my opinion not worth 10 stars.
4.5.2008	De Leckere Tripel	8	Being like La Chouffe seems to be the thing right now. Both this one and Zeezuiper taste similar (slightly more bitter though) and are served in exactly the same kind of glass.
12/22/2007	De Ranke Père Noël	8	Drunk at home in Ljosaland after a splendid F.H. trip around Reykjanes. I was a bit surprised to note that the beer was blond and not dark when I poured it from the bottle, since Christmas beers tend to be rather dark. The taste was very rich and good, 8.
11.10.2007	Delftse Mueselare Bier	8	Although not actually brewed in Delft, it celebrates the rich brewing history of the city. A very tasty brew, perfect for the cold and dark times.
4.10.2008	Deugniet	8	Not strong, compared to other tripels, but lacks nothing in good taste. Yet again, Ed voices his support for my orders for beers.
12/13/2007	Deus Brut des Flandres	8	The Dom Perignon of beers. A bottle costs 15 euros in the beershop in Rotterdam and 25 in the Klooster. It's extremely elegant look makes it worth the money but I must admit I was a bit disapointed with the taste.
4.3.2008	Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux	8	Took along to play Tupen with Rúna and Adriaan. I don't remember who won though.
9/28/2007	Dupont Cervesia	8	Very nice but made me play horrible poker!!
12/13/2007	Duysters Loterbol Bruin	8	Very dark, very good. Bubbi was thrilled and immediately wanted to order the blond. He, however, didn't do it.
12/13/2007	Einbecker Ur-Bock Dunkel	8	Incredibly dark and good, even though it's made in Germany and expired two months ago. I once drank expired Fosters and I can safely say that the Einbecker is much better in dealing with age.
2/25/2008	Gouden Carolus Triple	8	I visited the Het Anker brewery in 2006 along with Soren and Caitlin, and have therefore some fond memories of it. Adriaan selected this one at the Waterhuis van de Bierkant in Gent, just before the unforgettable boattrip.
1/16/2008	Grimbergen Double (Dubbel)	8	Perhaps the rating is a bit hyped up because it came straight after Palm Groen. But I have always considered this beer to be very good. It saved the stop in Cambrinus at least.
4.9.2008	Gulpener Lentebock	8	Before the Puur was the best Gulpener type, but now its the spring-bock. I used to have a very bad opinion on the Gulpener brewery but that is gradually changing.
10/19/2007	Hertog Jan Tripel	8	Being the former king of pilsners, the tripel should have been more of a blast. 8 stars however and top quality beer.
4/15/2008	Jessenhofke	8	Chosen by Bubbi at 't Proeflokaal. Choosing a tripel for me is always a good choice.
10/24/2007	Kaltenberg Ritterbock	8	Although I sat alone with my Ritterbock for about 10 minutes, I never felt lonely. Such is the power of the Bock!
10/19/2007	Klein Duimpje Erik de Noorman	8	The Noorman is especially good with jazz while recuperating after loosing yet again to the glorious captain, Halldor Fjalldal.
2/25/2008	La Trappe Quadrupel	8	Had the quadrupel at Locus last friday, after a great football match. The beer is very good and has a lot of taste and alchohol in it, as is the norm with quadrupels.
10/19/2007	Leffe Tripel 8	8	The second of three 8 star beers I had the same evening (lucky me). Probably the best Leffe (in the world) although I will have to check back on the Blond and the Brune to verify that.
11/28/2007	Lucifer	8	Recommended by Bubbi himself, who sat in 't Proeflokaal waiting for me and Petur to come along to watch Barca. As is the case with so many beers, devlish names usually indicate a good taste and indeed Lucifer has one, even a bit surprising taste.
10.4.2007	Mc Chouffe	8	Mc Chouffe is to La Chouffe what Simeone Inzaghi is to Pippo
11/25/2007	Moeder Overste	8	Preparing for the Rokkurro/Mum concert I started with the Moeder. Not a bad choice.
11.10.2007	Mongozo Quinua	8	It's amazing that I first taste this brew of the secret ingredient of the Incas here in Delft. The Incas themselves settle for the European style pilseners of Pacena, Taqina, Cuzqena and Huari, but miss out on this brilliance. This beer is a huge success.
12/27/2007	Morland Hens Tooth	8	I was really surprised by this ale's taste. Almost resembling Orval. Drunk late on Christmas Eve after the guests were gone. A very nice time to do a small beertaste.
12.2.2007	Pilsner Urquell	8	One of those pilseners that actually has some taste... and I like it. Hertog Jan is no longer the king of pilseners.
10.9.2007	Piraat 9%	8	A Piraat for Jiraat... Not very delicate but gets the job done.... But then again, I tried it in a blindfolded test and mistook it for an Orval. A mistake that I'm ashamed of but I might also have mistaken the Piraat the last time I had it.
12/16/2007	Reinaert Tripel	8	Quite good, like is usual with tripels. It was supposed to be drunk while watching Valencia - Barca ( 0-3, Guddy got a goal), but it wasn't available so a rerun of Portsmouth - Tottenham was show instead. At least Bubbi was happy about that.
11.10.2007	Rochefort Trappistes 10	8	A curious smile came on the Beerprofessors face when he presented this one. The first special beer I ever tasted, (Copenhagen 2003). One bottle is enough to make a whole evening, and actually I would never consider taking more than one in a evening.
3.6.2008	Rochefort Trappistes 6	8	The Rocheforts peak at 8 in my opinion. This means that the whole Rochefort family has been rated here. Too bad.
4.3.2008	Scheldebrouwerij De Zeezuiper	8	Tastes something like La Chouffe and when it is served in a Chouffe glass one can easily mistake it for one. However, what the Zeezuiper doesn't have is the long history of me drinking it, and last but not least, the very nice elf creature that is in the La Chouffe logo.
2.11.2008	Scheldebrouwerij Lamme Goedzak	8	Chosen by either Petur or Bubbi in BeBop. A very nice beer like can be expected form our good friends in Scheldebrouwerij in Bergen-op-Zoom. I seriously have to go there one day.
3/18/2008	Schneider Aventinus	8	Found this beer in the Man van Drank and since it is no. 10 on the RateBeer list I had to try it out. The taste was very nice and very unique. I was however sharing the bottle I bought with a numbrer of other people so I only tasted a bit. I have to try it again to confirm this 8.
1/27/2008	Sloeber	8	Tried at Locus while playing a dutch geographical game. Did good in the game and the beer tasted surprisingly good.
12/19/2007	St Feuillien Cuvée de Noël	8	Drunk after a memorable beer taste from Adriaan and Petur. They tricked me but in general I think I did OK. Spotting types of beer in a blindfolded test is very hard.
2.11.2008	St. Bernardus Prior 8	8	Very nice dubbel taken as the first pick last friday night.
11/16/2007	Verhaeghe Duchesse De Bourgogne	8	The duchesse sure makes nice brew. Something mystic about the tase, really hard to put a finger on it. Went well with poker and brought a lot of luck.
12.2.2007	t IJ Turbock	8	The Turbock season has started at Bebop. Brings smiles to our faces.
12.2.2007	t IJ Zatte	8	Zatte strong as ever, second choice when we heard that Westvleteren was sold out at Doerak. That will, however, change in the near future.
3/18/2008	Anchor Bock	7	Although its called a bock it tastes more like a stout. Amongst the best US beers I've tried but until recently I was under the impression that all their beers were eshit. But that's not true.
12.11.2007	Bock-Damm	7	Now we are getting to the tastier parts from the Damm brewery. Dark and sweet and tasty. It was Miquel who offered a round of Bock and will always be remembered for that.
11/20/2007	Brugs Tarwebier	7	An early Saturdaymorning order in the beautiful town of Damme. And, although I saw delicious warm chocolates, coffees and espressos all around I was certain that I had made the best choice.
11/20/2007	Brugse Zot	7	A nice surprise that the beer I ordered to go with my lambchops happened to be the Zot Blonde. For a moment I was almost thinking to awarding it with 8 stars, but after a carefull thought it unfortunately fell down to 7. But it's definitelly a 7,45.
12/22/2007	Ceres Royal X-Mas Blå	7	The employee of the Rikid in Grindavik recommended the blue Royal instead of the white one when he was asked about the difference. The man was in good mood and treated us all to chocolates as we exited the store. A nice moment of the FH Christmas trip 2007
4.9.2008	Duchy Originals Organic Ale	7	Quite good, very hoppy taste. Quite amazing to learn that the Prince of Wales is a beer brewing enthusiast. He deserves some credit for that.
2/16/2008	Ename Tripel	7	I'm a big fan of tripels and they usually get 8 or more stars from me. This one, however, is perhaps the tripel I like the least.
11.10.2007	Erdinger Weissbier (Hefe-Weizen)	7	A considerably better alternative in the Weissbier-business than Hoegaarden. I somhow always connect this beer with going skiing and eating Wienerschnitzel.
10.9.2007	Grolsch Herfstbok	7	Yet another poker-beer. Doesn't guarantee success though.
2.11.2008	Guinness Draught	7	I had not had a Guinness in 5 or 6 years. The reason was a bad, canned Guinness I had in Botnar. My oppinion has changed and I welcome Guinness as a quality beer, although I am not likely to take part in any of its cult-like following.
3.8.2008	Gulpener Puur	7	The second best Gulpener rating on my list. I'm a bit late with this rating since I drank the Puur some two months ago and therefore the 7 score might not be acurate.
12/13/2007	Hanssens Oude Gueuze	7	I usually like Gueuzes quite alot. However this one is so sour that it's kind of like eating a lemmon.
12/29/2007	Holsten Festbock	7	Very dark (comparisons with Coca Cola were made at the table) and very tasty. Was perfect in combination with whiskey while playing Party&Co.
9/30/2007	Jopen 4 Granen Bokbier	7	Didn't make me dance, but was fresh.
11/30/2007	Leffe Blond	7	After having carried Brynjars and Svavas couch, through their hallway sauna it and down three floors it was very refreshing to get a sparkling Leffe Blond. A solid seven.
11.2.2007	Maredsous 6 Blond	7	Although served in an appaling way in a Amstel glass in a smokefilled bar (de Ruif) the quality shone through since it could immediately be compared with a fierce Belgian rival, Jupiler.
12.11.2007	Murphys Irish Stout	7	Drunk at Flann O'Briens in Barcelona while watching my brother Dori play his guitar. The taste was definitelly good but I kind of didn't keep my mind too much with it since I was too busy enjoying Dori's play.
2.11.2008	Oppigårds Slåtteröl	7	Extremely bitter but a very refreshing change from the normal pils. There was a misunderstanding at the bar when I ordered this one, as Ed the barman thought I was asking about the danish national team, instead of the beer. This was eventually solved.
11.10.2007	Palm Speciale	7	The special beer for those that don't like special beers.
11.11.2007	Prinzregent Luitpold Weissbier Hell	7	The beerprofessors choice. Very nice and full of protein.
1.11.2008	Regal Christmas	7	Very malty and very good. The taste in fact reminded me of the very nice Icelandic non-alchoholic Malt.
1.1.2008	Samuel Adams Boston Lager	7	The Sam Adams Boston Lager is actually quite good. By far the best US-beer that I have had. Drank it on New Years eve (2007-2008) and it was great. It even outshone the Old Speckled Hen I also had.
4/13/2008	St Feuillien Triple	7	I want to congratulate Halldór for having discovered the wonders of Belgian beers. He had a La Chouffe while I had this one. The Chouffe is much better.
11.10.2007	Teme Valley Hearth Warmer	7	A nice ale. Two anoying things though. Why the half liter bottle? and why have the label so light you can hardly read it?
11/20/2007	Tongerlo 6 Dubbel Blonde	7	In my memory this beer has always been good. That might stem from the fact that I drank it (with spaghetti bolognese) in Tongerlo itself and afterwords drove past its majestic but closed monastery. The one I had in Brugge was nice but a bit dead, thus 7.
12/22/2007	Tuborg Julebryg	7	Had a Tuborg Julebryg as an predrink for dinner on my first day of this Christmas holiday in Iceland. The taste is good although we changed to red wine to accompany the lamb steak at dinner.
12.11.2007	Voll-Damm (Doble Malta)	7	Aleix and Miquel are very fond ot the Voll. It's the strongest of the pack and has a strong taste. I will say that I agree with them, the Voll is good. It was meneer Aleix that brought this one, if I am not mistaken.
10.9.2007	Warsteiner Premium Verum	7	't Proeflokaals' choice for a pils, can't be wrong on that one.
11/15/2007	Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier	7	Very grand especially since its brewery is said to be the oldest in the world. Makes you feel very german, almost makes the mustache grow.
12.11.2007	A. K. Damm	6	Aleix had his doubts about this one but I liked it. It has a distinctive taste for a lager and although slightly lighter than Estrella, I will put it in a category above. It was Petur that was so generous to buy everyone a A.K.
10/21/2007	Anker Bok	6	It took almost the entire glass to enjoy this one. First three sips were not good. The glass design is also unique, but not really nice for a special beer. But some people must definitelly like this since it has been brewed now for 638 years.
2/25/2008	Campus	6	The standard pils of the magnificent Huyghe brewery in Melle. It's great to visit Melle and its brewery, and even better if the brewery is open when you do it. I recommend the diner next to the church as they have excellent food and beers and are cheap.
2/16/2008	De Koninck	6	At de Koninck Blues Festival you have to drink de Koninck. The beer is fine, similar to Palm, and the festival no worse. Saw four bands, one with two potential fathers of Gio and one with the Dutch Bubbi Morthens.
3.2.2008	De Koninck Blond	6	I must admit, I thought that the Blond was the same thing as the normal De Koninck. In any case, the taste is very similar.
1.3.2008	Egils Premium	6	At 5,6% it is one of the strongest domestic beers in Iceland. It's also made from Icelandic malt, although that can hardly stand as some kind of pillar of quality. But nevertheless the beer is very good, definitelly one of Icelands best.
4.3.2008	Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock	6	Had it at 't Proeflokaal. The taste is a bit disappointing and this is a beer I will not try again.
10.9.2007	Grolsch Premium Pilsner	6	Thervetha?? No, Gggrroohlsj
2/14/2008	Grolsch Premium Weizen	6	This is one of those beers that looks better than it tastes. These big Grolsch bottles are so nice it doesn't matter whats in them.
10/20/2007	Heineken	6	This one was good. It was so good that I finished my 25cl bottle in three sips, way ahead of a norwegian girl next to me, that certainly can drink. But the nr. 1 rule to enjoy Heineken is that it should not be drunk after an Belgian special beer.
10.9.2007	Hertog Jan Pilsener	6	Meneer Jan never fails, good with darts. Giving it an 8 is perhaps a bit over the top, especially when you compare it with the other 8 star beers. It still should be hailed as one of the best pilsener but it's grade is 6. Sorry meneer Jan.
2/13/2008	Kilkenny	6	It was symbolic that Alex gave me a bottle of Kilkenny on the eve of his departure from the Netherlands to move to Ireland. It's a good beer but the farewell poker was horrible, with Marco dominating as a result of his incredible luck in cards.
1/26/2008	Leeuw Pilsener	6	Ordered at Abyssinia as a replacement for the sold out but excellent Mongozo Quinua. Tasted good, even slightly better than the normal pils.
11/20/2007	Liefmans Kriek Ongezoet op Vat	6	A refreshing Kriek and slightly better than Timmermans, but Krieks aren't really my cup of tea.
1.1.2008	Morland Old Speckled Hen	6	A nice brew, although not nearly as good as its brother Hen's Tooth. Drank it on New Years eve because somebody opened up the bottle without finishing and I didn't want to waste it.
12/29/2007	Scheldebrouwerij Kerstbier	6	I got this very nice bottle as a Christmas gift in Holland, risked putting it in my luggage to fly to Iceland. The best thing about this beer is the bottle. The taste is almost overwhelming and I, along with those that drank with me, didn't really like it.
11.10.2007	Scheldebrouwerij Oesterstout	6	Certainly a nice beer. But I almost forgot about it afterwards. I guess that rules it out from the elite beers.
12/29/2007	Stella Artois	6	I used to be really fond of Stella. Its elegant bottle somehow gives you the feeling that it has something special to offer. I still like the beer but I don't think it is that amazingly special anymore. Things change.
11/20/2007	Tuborg Guld (Gold / Premium Lager)	6	Out of the bottle. Instantly distinguished itself from the Jupiler I had before and in a good way. Although Soren will never agree that Tuborg is the best thing from Denmark (that being OB) the Tuborg I had was excellent.
12/27/2007	Viking Jólabjór	6	The Viking Christmas ale is good. But come to think of it, I have better memories of Thule. I still give them the same grade, its a matter of 5,7 and 6,3.
12/27/2007	Viking Thule	6	My uncle Oli gave me a can of Thule to drink while on our way to a restaurant. It really is a refreshing beer. It was once chosen as the 3rd best lager in the world which is of course total bullshit. It's however is well above average.
4.6.2008	Albert Heijn Pilsener	5	This is the beer that the Telegraaf deemed as being the worst on offer in Dutch supermarkets. I must say however that I have had much worse beers, and in fact the AH isn't so bad at all. It's a very normal pils.
11.11.2007	Alfa Edel Pils	5	A beer that doesn't stand out in any way. Two years ago I bought a case of it because it was on offer and decided never to buy one again. So I guess my opinion of it is better than it once was.
10/13/2007	Amstel Lager	5	The Amstels I drank in Crete right after I graduated from high school will always have a special place in my mind. The ones I had yesterday were indeed cold and refreshing and went well with burritos and a brownie.
12/19/2007	Amstel Malt	5	I was tricked into drinking this one, thinking it was of a family of beers I had already rated. I thought it was Gulpener Pilsener, and gave it a five. Therefore I must admit that I could not spot the difference between this one and a bad Pils.
10/20/2007	Bavaria Pilsener	5	Somehow all pilseners taste the same in smokefilled pubs. The no. 1 pils according to de Telegraaf certainly did its job, but nothing more than that.
11/21/2007	Brand Pilsener	5	A very nice pils (when cold, at least) brewed by the oldest brewery in the Netherlands. At this very moment, Albert Heijn has a super offer on Brand and I, for one, am going to buy it.
12/29/2007	Bruggsmidjan Kaldi	5	The first beer from the first microbrewery in Iceland. It really isn't that special and certainly does not justify being twice as expensive as other Icelandic pilseners.
1.1.2008	Carlsberg Lager	5	Was offered one in the newly renovated Apotek in Reykjavik. It was a fantastic place and a good night out but I was not thinking about the brew at all. But I've had it a lots of times before and its nice.
11/20/2007	Cristal Alken	5	Refreshing but the only reason why I ordered it was that I didn't want to order the Brugs Tarwebier again. The Tarwebier is much better, but I would never say that Cristal is bad. Just a bit forgettable.
12.11.2007	Cruzcampo Pilsner	5	Snapped up a bottle along with the Estrellas we already had chosen. Not the first time I drink it as it also brought very good times while in Fallas in Valencia a few months ago. It was Roman who introduced it originally to me. A normal but good brew.
12.11.2007	Damm Xibeca	5	I must admit that I could not taste a difference from the Estrella. A good and cheap party beer and went along fine with a tortilla patata, tomato bread and chorizo.
12/27/2007	Egils Gull	5	Drunk at Dillon along with Brynjar, Svava, Sindri and Eggert. I managed to give a very pretty girl my Valencia scarf that night only to see neither of them again. What a silly thing to do.
12.11.2007	Estrella Damm	5	Drunk on board a Vueling flight from Amsterdam to Barcelona. Very refreshing and a good mix with Kit Kat. For 2 euros it was also a bargain in in-flight pricing terms.
9/24/2007	Euroshopper Pilsener	5	According to the beerprofessor a good beer is good when it is warm. Yesterday I did just that with the Euroshopper, and mwah, I was impressed. This is quality stuff!
12/15/2007	Gulpener Dort	5	Mattijs brought this one to the poker. Halldór was extremely happy about it and publicly declared his satisfaction. I tried to figure out what it was that he was so happy about, but didn't really get it. A normal beer.
11.10.2007	Hoegaarden White	5	This beer just has to have the right circumstances to be enjoyed. Those circumstances are sunshine and more than 20 degrees Celcius. At other times its kind of like drinking liquidised paper.
12.1.2007	Jaeger Bier	5	A nice 6 star pils like so many others. And for those that hate cheap beers, I challenge you to spot this one and Euroshopper in a blindfolded test with the so called "quality" pilseners.
10.9.2007	Jupiler	5	Ate a bit too much of noodles before engaging with the Jupiler last night. My conditon for beertasting was perhaps not as good as it could be. But the second division in Holland is called the Jupiler League for a reason.
12.11.2007	Mahou Clásica	5	Had a Mahou Clasica at Aleix's place. We were extremely tired, watching Reading beat Liverpool and for that mix you have to have a cool brew. The Mahou did not fail in that.
10/21/2007	Timmermans Tradition Kriek Lambic	5	Drunk in honor of yet another clean sheet by Henk Timmer. The fruittaste was so overwhelming that this beer was only good for about 4 or 5 sips. However, these sips were pretty good. After the glass there was no chance I wanted another.
1.1.2008	Tuborg Grøn	5	Had one while preparing lobster for dinner. Very plain but did quensh my thirst.
12.2.2007	Vondel Flemish Brown Ale	5	Incredibly dark beer, the carbon-taste is so rich it kind of resembles a beer that has been filtered through old BBQ coals. I'm not having this again.
12/27/2007	Víking Gylltur	5	Drunk at a Christmas Party of my fathers family. It's a known Icelandic lager and a fine brew. I wasn't really in the mood for it though and quickly switched to jolaol instead.
11.10.2007	Belle-Vue Gueuze	4	The extra sweet taste of obviously added sugar, turns an extreemely classy beer type like the Geuze into just another, unimportant, soft drink. Shame on Interbrew!
10.11.2007	Dommelsch Pilsener	4	No Euroshopper, thats for sure. The first time i rated the Dommelsch there was definitelly something wrong with the beer, tried it again and it was better. Thus, new rating = 4 stars! Trivia: Dommelsch Oud Bruin is the cheapest Dutch Special Beer in Doerak
10/13/2007	Gulpener Limburgs Land	4	The 'eco'-friendly label on this beer can make your conscience feel better but it does not guarantee good taste. However, the lackluster taste combined with my briming satisfaction of being environmentally friendly helped me to finally win a game of poker.
11/16/2007	Schulten Bräu (Germany)	4	A tolerable beer. There was something about it that made me realize that Euroshopper beer is slightly better. Thus, Schulten Brau is ranked slightly lower.
11/16/2007	Gulpener Wintervrund (2005-2006)	3	I think the Wintervrund I drank was supposed to be 2007-2008. Anyway, the beer was not good and tasted something like 50/50 water and old appeljuice. There is still a bottle in my fridge. Who knows what will happen to that one.
1/16/2008	Palm Green	3	MWAH. Me, Petur and Bubbi chose this beer as the first to try at Cambrinus in Rotterdam (a well respected beer bar). It turns out to be 0%. Well what the heck, none of us liked it, had an empty taste of it, somewhat in line with Amstel Lite.
4.10.2008	Ramsgate Gadds Dogbolter Winter Porter	3	Not my cup of tea. Tastes more like old and flat diet Coke.
9/29/2007	Amstel Light	1	The worst beer ever created. Its as simple as that.
