(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 28 Aug 2022) Cloudy yellow colour with lasting, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with mango, passion-fruit, orange, grapefruit and pine needles. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of mango, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, pine needles and a balanced citric/tropical bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Really rich and tasty IPA, with an impressive hop presence. Great beer!

Straight from can during a hike from Arnhem to Ede, on the edge of 'De Ginkelse Heide'. I'll be honest: Two Chefs definitely isn't one of my favorite Dutch breweries but Cloudwater is a big name. That's why I was looking forward to try this collab. Color: Hazy golden, white head I presume. Aroma: Hoppy, dank, moldy grape. Taste: Hoppy with malty wheat backbone. Dank, hints on onion, fruity white grape and hints of orange. Dry-ish finish. Just over medium body, just under average carbonation. Moderate bitterness, over moderate sweet. Lightly sticky mouthfeel. On the sweet side but nice overall.
