From the sterk, Amsterdam. Best before 05/25, trying this beer yesterday after a trip from Paris. A classical and old school ipa, rather light, watery with a subtle note of dry malt, resinous, dry, bitter, not so strong, aromatic hop, refreshing, happy to find this beer during the last summer in Amsterdam.

Blik gedeeld door Koenzie. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van perzik, sinaasappel en hop. De smaak is fruitig, zacht zoet en hoppig.

Poured from 350mL can. Clear gold with full white head. Malty biscuit malt, bland resinous hops that ends up having a fairly aggressive resiny finish. Lacks finesse, quite rough around the edges.

Bright copper with a medium head. Full biscuity malt aroma bordering on worty. Medium bitterness, again a big, warm malt. Low hop expression outside of the bitterness. Some butter creeping in as it warms up. Echigo was the first craft brewer in Japan and this tastes like the first IPA in Japan. This is so old school you need to listen to Flower Travellin’ Band while drinking it.
