On tap at Boot 122 brewpub, Utrecht Friday 9th January 2026, after a long wet walk from the hotel via De Kromme Harring (not open until 4pm, schoolboy error 😐) then into town, we visited Eetcafé de Poort first, then DeRat then a walk out of town to Oproer brewpub. Pours clear gold with a white head. Nice fresh crisp IPA, dry finish, there is a little bit of sweetness but it's fruity and dry, nice. Score 7.1

0.33 l can from 'Mr. Hop', best before July 2026. A bit hazy, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-floral, slightly grassy aroma of lemon peel, pineapple, gooseberry and some passion fruit. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-floral and slightly grassy taste of grains, lemon peel, gooseberry, quince, pineapple and some passion fruit, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Crisp, refreshing brew, very well-executed.

On tap @ Kaapse Kaap. Decent, refreshing Cold IPA that reminds me of a hoppy lager with realtivly moderate hop profile.

Dorada bastante limpia de espuma media. De no mucha retención. Aroma lupulado. Resinoso. Herbal. En boca es ligera, oleosa, de bajo gas. Muy lupulada de notas resinosas herbales y zumo de limón que queda en los labios. También se perciben muy ligeramente notas mas dulces, tipo jarabe. Amargor pronunciado, creciendo a lo largo del trago.

Can. Almost clear golden. Soft bread crust and caramel, dank weedy hops, very grassy and floral, raw cocoa beans, lemon zest, light curry. Medium serrt and bitter. Crisp medium body with oily finish. Well, it's almost more like a classic West Coast IPA, I like it.

Tap in mijn favo filmtheater, Lab 111, tijdens Camera Japan, dag 1. Vrijwel heldere goudgele kleur met een kleine fijne witte kraag. Geur is hoppig, fruitig. In de mond behoorlijk fruitig, maar ook bitterig,iets geroosterd en zelfs een tikje zoetig. Smaak is bitterig, toast, ietsje zoetig. Lichte tot medium body. Prettig bittere afdronk die lekker blijft hangen.
