Description
De Kip brewery was established in May 2014 by Jos Huijgens from Ossenisse in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Jos started in 1992 in his then hometown Bergen op Zoom as a hobby brewer. In 2004 he built a small hobby brewery in the barn at his current home in Ossenisse. In 2015 he ended up at 't Hofbrouwerijke in Beerzel, where, under the watchful eye of the brewmaster, he was able to brew his own beer. And because this brewery indicated that it was going to expand, Jos decided to take over the installation of 't Hofbrouwerijke and to place it in Ossenisse. The installation is now operational, and Jos now brews 10 hl of beer per brewing day. The lager capacity has gone from 850 liters to 5000 liters, so it is now a real brewery.

Clear pale yellow beer, big creamy solid white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, some banana, bit sweet, some marzipan, sugary. MF: very lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: malty, yeast, coriander, spicy, dry, floral. Aftertaste: malty, some citrus, bitter touch, pretty watery, floral, ok for a low abv beer, but not really great.

Blonde beer from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, the most 'Flemish' part of the Netherlands; bottle from the Gall & Gall in Hulst. Medium thick, moussy, eggshell-white, slowly dissipating and 'fragmentarily' opening, shred-lacing head over lightly hazy, warm orange golden beer with peachy hue and disparate little bubbles of carbon dioxide here and there; warm glowing misty orange with sediment. Aroma of dried apricot, dried camomile, dried wormwood leaves, moist white pepper, peach, bitter honey, breakfast cereals, freshly cut garden herbs, bread crust, something vaguely iron-like. Fruity, crisp onset, red apple and unripe banana, clean, sweetish but subduedly so, medium carb with light minerally touches, slick pale malt sweetishness, cereally with bread crust sides and a vague caramelly accent but before it can turn into full-fledged malt sweetness, hops are there to save the day and provide a long-stretched, spicy, 'dusty', leafy bitterness, noble in nature and drying, with a quinine-like effect in the end. Belgian style, 'summery' blonde from a - to me hitherto unknown - Dutch contract brewer but effectively brewed in Belgium apparently, this beats a lot of similarly profiled beers by adding more hop bitterness which eventually even dries the finish in an old school noble, pleasantly spicy way; much better than expected really, if still simple and straightforward. One I could drink all afternoon in an outdoors café in or outside of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly yeast, nicely bitter. A bit hard to describe but quite a decent blonde beer. Not bad at all.

Lichtgeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en licht zoet met iets van thee, ananas en abrikoos.

20/VII/14 - 33cl bottle from some local market in Zeeuw-Vlaanderen @ home - BB: 31/III/16 (2014-827) Thanks to Mattie for the bottle!
Little cloudy blond beer, big fizzy off-white head, unstable, dissipates immediately, non adhesive. Aroma: some citrus, bit sourish, fruity, malts, some banana, sugary. MF: lots of carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty bitter, very yeasty flavour, bit sourish, unpleasant. Aftertaste: sourish, infected, banana, unpleasant, yuck. I have to admit the cap made a weird sound upon opening and was smelly. Maybe something went wrong while bottling or it got half opened during transport?
