Hops, hops, hops. The Kompaan 58 Handlanger has skipped the process of a normal IPA and has hopped over to adulthood. Backwards engineering! Lots of hops: Simcoe, Amarillo and El Dorado and three kinds of malts. A full flavored double IPA of 8.2%, but beware!
This beer is strong, but doesn’t taste as quite as dangerous--just like a night on the town with your “handlangers” (accomplices). Citrusy notes in smell and taste in combination with a tropical fruit palate and a bittersweet aftertaste.

Tap @ at Proeflokaal Arendsnest. Unclear deep golden body under an off-white head. Aroma has malt and citric hops with a hint of rubber. Taste has more malt flavour than expected from aroma, nice fruity hop flavours and a nice bitterness. It’s a nice old school IPA that actually reminds me a lot of the classic Stone signature – at least the malt flavour.

From the sterk, Amsterdam, it is a classical double ipa, robust, warm alcool, sweet, hoppy, some plum, the kind of beer to finish a night, 30.05.18.

Golden colour with light haze and lasting soapy head. Aroma and flavour have orange peel citrus notes. A little fruity and a little bitter.
