Description
In haar brouwerij brouwt Maximus met stoom ambachtelijke bieren op haar eigen koperen installatie. De basis van onze bieren wordt gevormd door zuiver water, gerst, hop en gist. Dit maakt al onze speciaalbieren tot een puur en echt product. Onze brouwers zorgen in onze professionele brouwerij voor een constante hoge kwaliteit.
De koperen ketels waarin wij ons bier brouwen, maar ook de afvulketels en de lagertanks zijn te bewonderen vanuit ons proeflokaal. Onze brouwers werken met veel passie aan onze vaste bieren, seizoensbieren en specials. Overdag zie je ze druk aan het werk. Ze hebben hun sporen verdiend met brouwen en onze bieren hebben verschillende prijzen gewonnen (zie hier onze bieren), maar de brouwers staan niet stil en leren nog elke dag bij.
De prachtige installatie hebben we gekocht in Duitsland, bij Brouwerij Hibernia in Gelsenkirchen. Het is een installatie van Brauerei Anlagen Marketing (BAM), die nog origineel op stoom werkt.
Van de bostel, een restproduct van het brouwen, gaat een deel naar lokale boeren als paardenvoer en een deel naar de Utrechtse bakkerij Bond & Smolders voor hun heerlijke en gezonde bostelbrood.

Bottle, 6%. Subtle, but refreshing caramelly hop aroma. Cloudy amber colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is caramelly, from caramelly hops. Good clean bitterness. A subtle beer, but nicely hopped and well-balanced.

Unlabeled bottle at Kafe Belgie. Cloudy amber colorthink white head with poor retention, scant lacing. Subtle aroma of grass and white pepper. Taste has citrus and pine with a bitter finish. Resembles a lager more than an IPA. Needs more aroma hops.

Bottle at Cafe Belgie. Clear dark amber color, tan head with good retention and decent lacing. Subtle aroma of light grass. Tast is extremely malty, which makes it unbalanced. Just a tad of bitterness toward the end. Needs more aroma and bittering hops to call this one an IPA, right now itβs more or less an amber ale.

33cl Bottle from Bertβs Bierhuis, thanks Henkie! Hazy orange amber colour, off white head. Aroma is very fruity, tropical fruits, some citrus hops, sugar. Flavour is rather sweet, tropical fruits, pineapple, sugar, nice citrus hoppiness, but the mouthfeel is too thin imo, the sweet fruitiness becomes cloying rather quickly. Light bodied.

C: Very hazy orange with lots of yeast present, even though benzai and me poured it quite carefully. Smells like grapefruit and hops, but also some food smell is present. Tastes fruity and hoppy. Great mouthfeel.
