We hebben weer een nieuwe serie bieren bij Brouwerij Kees: Mad About Hops. Het is geen geheim dat Kees gek is op hop. Zo ontstond het idee om deze serie single hop IPA’s te brouwen, elk met een bijzondere hopvariëteit. Zo kun je goed ervaren wat voor aroma’s zo’n hop aan bier geeft.
De eerste editie van Mad About Hop is gebrouwen met Krush hop. Deze hop stond voorheen bekend als experimentele hop HBC 586, maar kreeg een half jaar geleden zijn officiële naam. Krush geeft rijke aroma’s van tropisch- en steenfruit aan deze editie van Mad About Hops.

Can at home. Golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, distant hay. There is something else there, but i can't really put my finger on it. Lychee perhaps? Can't figure it out. Okay beer.

(Draft at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 19 Feb 2025) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, white bread and fresh citrussy, floral hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, resin, grass, white bread and a balanced citric/floral bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Hoppy and refreshing. Nice one.

Can. Closer to being a clear gold beer than a hazy one, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a thinnish creamy sweetness. Krush or HBC586 hops deliver light floral pine into good juicy stone fruit hit, with a little mango. The trouble is, that hit is pretty short in duration, it rapidly gives way to a floral mild bitterness. No bad thing. The legs on the Krush fruity character get a little better as the brew warms up beyond chilly fridge temp. Light smooth finish brings an almost candy stone fruits and mango. Overall this feels like an attempt at a Krush West Coast IPA and it pulls that off well in my opinion. Struggling to understand all the stingy scores in this one.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Ripe-ish stone fruit, some orange, soft notes of grapefruit and pine. Medium bitter flavour, body is medium. Could be a bit more outspoken.

0.44 l can from 'Beerdome', best before April 2026. Clear, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-floral, a little dank aroma of passion fruit, green peppers and pineapple. Gently sweet, rather fruity-floral and a bit dank taste of passion fruit, pineapple, green peppers and carambola, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid IPA, interesting hop flavours. Won't be my favourite hop apparently.
