Brouwerij De 7 Deugden

 

 

 

 

First bottle ordered was completely flat. Sent it back for a second, only a pale whisp of carbonation. Maybe it's the batch but this is a hard pass. Strong clove smell which intermingles with the slightly bitter aftertaste. Overall this might be OK of it weren't completely without carbonation.

 

 

Ended up grabbing a bottle of this in the hotel lobby of La Boheme in Amsterdam . This was a quaint boutique hotel that only sold beer by this brewer in the lobby and Heineken or Amstel. This was no contest as I picked one of these brews. This brewery translates to the seven deadly virtues/vices and each beer is named after one . The one I picked out first was this one, the Triple. It was dark for a triple almost Amber in color served in a specified tulip/flute type glass which was 12oz. The beer I recall was excellent especially for the price in a bar. Said in the description to be spicy and contain spices from Eastern Holland. An awesome beer. Wish it was more well know. If the brewery stays open I think it'll be another 4-5 years before it ever makes it way to the states.
