Oranjebruin bier met schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en droog met iets van hars, veel hop, wat honing en bitter fruit. Eigenlijk een perfect bier, heel goed!

New Uiltje beer with an interesting premise: it tries to recreate the old East Coast IPA, the forerunner of the now-ubiquitous New England idiom, in a time when West Coast IPAs were all the rage; considering how East Coast IPA is apparently not even a category of its own here, this should almost be regarded as a historical beer style - apart from Brooklyn IPA, I cannot even think of such an oldskool East Coast IPA still being produced today... Thanks Hinke for the can! Huge, foamy, egg-white, membrane-lacing, firm, densely moussey head over a hazy peach blonde robe with deep golden glow. Aroma of dried grapefruit zest, fresh dill, Graham crackers, dill seed, wormwood, bitter honey, sundried tomatoes, cheese rind, dry green peppercorns, tonic water, green olives, herb cheese, persimmon, thyme, biscuit. Cleanly fruity onset, dryish even, with notes of dried persimmon and unripe peach but not estery, softish carb with somewhat resinous and oily, smooth mouthfeel; cracker- and slightly toast-like maltiness with a touch of biscuit, under a long-bittering, very grapefruity, wormwoody, green-peppery hop bitterness, dry and oily all the way, while some of that cracker-like maltiness lingers. Something vaguely cheesy (from hops I suppose) is present too, but faintly so. Indeed very oldskool no matter how you look at it: Uiltje, one of the pioneers in postmodern IPA in Holland, knows what that is about, but amplifies the bitterness to such an extent that this is also - ironically - more West Coast than many revivalist West Coast IPAs brewed today... In my memory, East Coast IPAs at the time were more mellow and fruity, i.e. a bit closer to the New England IPA style that succeeded it, but it has admittedly been a very long time since I had one and there is no denying that Uiltje managed to produce an American style IPA here that does taste like a blast from the past. The transition from West Coast to New England happened at the American East Coast for sure, and I believe it is safe to say that this one comes very close to what those early East Coast IPAs represented. A trip down memory lane, or close to that - have a point for that alone.
gave a cheers!
