Een IPA op barrels? Bij Kees doen we dat gewoon! Barrel Project 2026 rijpte 6 maanden op Gouden Carolus en brandyvaten, maar blijft verrassend fris. Dankzij een dryhop na het rijpen, knallen de hoparoma’s van citrus en tropisch fruit er weer vol uit, een perfecte balans tussen barreldiepte en IPA-frisheid.

Oranjebruin biet met mooi stevig schuim. Smaak is vrij bitter hoppig, droog met wat hout en fruitig met iets van rozijnen, pruimen en wat cognac.

Can from Beerdome. Woody with vanilla from the barrel, piney hop, orange, malt, oak, light booze. Fairly bitter with a mild sweetness. More barrel notes in the finish. Hmmm not a total loss but no magic either.

Can from Drankgigant.nl, Vlissingen, Netherlands and consumed at home Thursday 5th February 2026 was listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music, now talking to Isobel, it's Round Table later so hopefully we'll get to listen to that 😏. Pours dark gold actually it's not it's practically amber, with a large white sticky head. This is fascinating, really interesting beer, the barrel ageing is clearly leaving its mark but it's difficult to determine what barrel, it says brandy but would never have realised. Nice softness, citrus, light boozy, lingering bitterness, there's a little woody edge to it, it's really nice. Score 7.9

0.33 l can from 'Craftbeers', best before January 2027. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, rather fruity and a bit resiny aroma of mango, orange, pineapple and some vanilla. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity, slightly resiny taste of orange, mango, pineapple, vanilla, some whisky and light pine, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, a little woody finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good IPA, interestingly flavoured by the barrels, very heavy on the oaky vanilla flavours. Definitely one of the better barrel-aged IPA's from Kees.
