OJ Beer 16% 500ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (2 reviews)This is the one you crack when you want to slow right down. O.J. 16% is a Belgian strong lager that hits like a serious beer but drinks like a treat: golden, rich, smooth, and quietly massive. At 16% it's basically beer turned up to wine strength, so one 500ml can is a whole evening's company. Think late night, good music, no rush. Sip it, don't sink it.
Pour it and you get a clear, deep golden beer under a thick white head. The nose is all sweet malt and toasted cereal, a little caramel, a faint herbal hop in the background. On the tongue it's full and rounded, malty sweetness up front balanced by just enough bitterness to keep it honest. Here's the clever bit: for 16% there's barely any harsh boozy bite. It's smooth and grainy, almost moreish. The finish is long and warming, a clean alcoholic glow that spreads slow rather than burning. A proper sipper.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Born and brewed in Belgium, the home of big, characterful beer. The brand takes its name from Odo Joost, a Belgian strongman the brewery leans into as its mascot, hence the muscle and the 'strong beer' tag. It's made simply enough: water, barley malt, corn and glucose for that smooth body, and hop extract for balance. O.J. brews a whole ladder of strengths from 8.5% all the way up, and the 16% sits near the top end for people who want maximum punch.
