Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is resinous hop with plenty of pine resin, malt, some grapefruit, touch of caramel. Modest bittersweetish flavour, medium body. Nice resinous aroma, flavour lacks some punch though.

0.33 l bottle from 'Smaakhuis.nl', best before August 2023. Almost clear, deep red with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, fairly fruity-resiny, minimally roasty aroma of lots of pine, caramel, red fruits and roasted nuts. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly roasty, rather fruity-resiny taste of caramel, grapefruit, pine, red fruits and roasted nuts, followed by a short, quite bitter finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant red ipa, happy to try one again, just a tad too roasty for my liking.

The regular red IPA by this Amsterdam pioneer (now under Belgian Moortgat), bottle from the Albert Heijn supermarket in Lokeren. Allegedly hopped with Simcoe, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin, though the label leaves this undisclosed, and possibly the same beer as 't IJ Red Rye IPA in a new, restyled form, but the label fails to mention rye as well and frustratingly leaves it at "contains barley malt" (shame on you, legislator, for still allowing breweries to remain this vague about what they put in their beer!). Medium thick, moussy, shred-lacing, off-white, slowly breaking but generally stable head over a crystal clear, pure deep orange-glowing amber robe (rather than real red), showing some isolated, fine sparkling here and there - but in any case filtered. Aroma of dried grapefruit peel, pink peppercorns, toasted bread, toasted peanuts even, dried thyme, unripe orange, something lightly bubblegummy and that 'cooked cloth'-like aspect of pasteurization, Dutch 'bitterkoekjes', clove. Clean onset, rather 'tingly' carbonation with minerally effects, restrained sweetness and fruitiness, some notes of unripe apricot and apple peel perhaps but very subdued. Slick, oily body, toasted bitterish maltiness with sweeter peanutty core - but not as deeply toasty as I normally expect from a red IPA; resinous hop bitterness sets in early, grapefruity and leafy, with quinine- and pink pepper-like ambitions, stretching out quite long - but in the end, still remaining relatively mild for what is intended as an old school red IPA. Still the hops are present enough - probably way too bitter even for the present day 'haze boys' - and dominate the second half the way they should. Well, here we have it then, the industrialisation and institutionalisation of American IPA has reached the Netherlands, in the form of a sleek, clean, streamlined and pasteurized, but admittedly quite tasty go-to IPA, old school style. Not bad, but not powerful and pungent enough to fully recall the good old days when all IPAs were uncompromisingly bitter and citrusy, at least not for me - but I am getting old.
