Review: 33cl bottle of Oppigårds Indian Tribute: 6.6% vol.
Bought in Aldi Switzerland. Interesting logo on the long necked bottle, orange background and label with a pic of an elephant, simple but stylish, their “tribute to India”
On pour got a dark amber coloured beer with a decent sized white head that maintained well.
Good amount of carbonation and some lacing apparent.
A nice looking beer, looks alive and ready to be devoured! Loved the colour.
The smell is quite strong, a very lovely aroma smacking the senses full blast. Typical IPA aroma but the hops are so strong in this one, absolutely gorgeous, love it.
Intense earthy hops, citrus and tropical fruits on the nose, malts alive too, all perfectly balanced. Leaves a good impression, the smell, one of the best aromas off a beer in a long time. Truly powerful stuff on the nose, and all good.
Typical IPA taste and flavour in the taste, the fruits and malts, and the hops are prominent but all nice and very manageable.
A very tasty beer, crisp, sweet and all well balanced, and smooth enough for an IPA. The hops in particular are quite tasty.
A very nice beer to relax with and sit back and sip. Well balanced. Very good. Not the widest array of intense flavours and unique tastes, just the lingering Cascade hops really, but its good enough to enjoy. Low in bitterness but high in enjoyment!
Like it, solid and very enjoyable and will be returning……..



The company were formed when two former business consultants quit their jobs and started brewing beer? Timm and Mario, the well travelled duo, brought back to Germany with them hop varieties, yeast strains and plenty of ideas from their global adventures.
“Handcrafted Beer from Bayern”, in a very cool looking bottle with a nice logo, nothing fancy but a nice written design of the the company’s name.
Typical IPA style in the taste, not bad at all, all very hoppy but very manageable and very tasty. Sweet malts, caramel, the citrus and the hops all delicious and very well managed. 
Brasserie d’Uberach (Uberach brewery) is the name of an independent microbrewery founded in 1999, founded by Eric Trossat. Eric was a former engineer in a nuclear power plant in Normandy, but lets decide later if his beers have an explosive kick (boom boom!). Getting his qualifications in the brewing process, he produces craft beers out of his base in Uberach, in north-eastern France.
Bottle from Lidl France. Interesting logo of two people kissing, striking. Was a little bit pricey, considering its in Lidl, 3 Euros plus for the bottle, albeit a big bottle of beer.
It is a very nice aroma though, flowery and unusual but nice. Bit of an aphrodisiac, felt a bit horny after it!! LOL
The Vauclair Abbey was a Cistercian abbey founded in 1134 by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, located in the North Of France. Supported financially by rich families, the abbey quickly prospered and was given several estates and farms, until the French Revolution in 1789, when it was finally demolished and sold as “national property”. Then World War one lead to further damage from artillery fire…..to where today only ruins remain. What remains of the site is an arboretum of apple and pear trees and a medicinal herb garden.
Lidl France, and for the big bottle all less than two Euros!
A tough one to drink, very strong in the hop taste, very, very bitter and tastes all a bit raw and rough, a bit too earthy.
Two brothers, Antoine and Frédéric, with a deep passion for beer and with their agronomy and brewery diplomas in the bag, founded the Brasserie De Sutter in 2008.
Bought in Lidl France. Picture of a chariot on bottle.
Initially on the taste I found it to be a bit dry in the mouth but the more I got into it the more the fruits and the hops came to the fore. It tasted not too bad at all, very long tasting and lies on the tongue for a while, a deep taste in the mouth. Also the sweet malts and fruity notes also make an appearance, but truth be told this beer is all about the hops.
