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.

Can. Pours slightly hazy orangeish straw with small white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit, with estery and hoppy touches. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish notes of fruit and malt, and estery touches. Malty and hoppy aftertaste. Satiating, tasty, and well-balanced. Decent stuff.

Can, 8.2%. Caramelly aroma, hint of vanilla. Hazy dark golden colour. Stable white head. The flavour is malty, caramelly, sweetish, creamy with a touch of vanilla. Low bitterness for the style.

Bottle from DeBierkonig, Amsterdam, 29th September 19. Surprised, I’ve not had this before. Pours a nice orange copper colour. Aroma is citrus pith, candied orange, boiled sweets. Taste is bitter, pithy, candied orange, light bitter citrus pith, strong malt backbone, solid bitter, pithy linger. True to the west coast style and a good one.
