Description
Ronald started working as a brewer in 1990, at brewery De Raaf. Few years later he lefts the Netherlands for Finland. He stayed in the beer business in various roles, and after a short break, he returned in 2015 to start The Flying Dutchman Nomad Brewing Company, to brew his own recipes at de Proefbrouwerij and Brouwerij Anders. He brews out of love for beer, and only works with the best and most passionate people. That’s why his beers are exceptional – full of character and flavour.

Bottle from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Aroma is grainy biscuity malt, caramel, lightly hoppy with some floral/herbal notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Hardly memorable, should have been more hoppy and floral, but quite drinkable beer.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt, fruity hops, tropical fruits, citrus, pine, chocolate, rye, some liquorice, with a touch of mocha. Flavour is moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Pleasant BIPA, roasty and hoppy. A little more body would have carried this beyond the average for the style.

Bottle from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Aroma is apple juice with wheaty notes and more green apples. Flavour is a bit tart and mildly sour. Body is light with a bit too heavy carbonation. Unrrmarkable but okay, should be more enjoyable on a warm summer day in the sun.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is cocoa, roasted malt, cinnamon, caramel, wood, subtle green chili, and powdery chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet with a moderate to medium roasty bitterness. Body is medium. I don't get much chipotle burn besides some spicy green chili, hotness is minimal. Oak and cinnamon are pronounced, could have used a more robust body. That being said, there's plenty to be enjoyed here.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is piney hops with caramel malt, pine resin, sweet ripe fruits, light floral, orange and some apricot. Flavour is pretty sweet with a long bittersweet finish. Body is a bit above medium. On the sweet piney malty side, thankfully I like piney. Nice IIPA.

Draught@Kahdet Kasvot, Tampere. Black colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is berries, some roasted and ashy malts to it with a bit of tartness too. Flavour is chocolate, coffee, roast and some blackberries, blackcurrant and mild tartish wooden tones. Strange, but at the same time quite nice.

Bottle. Red colour with a small pink head. Aroma is cherries, some mild toffee and mild sugary tones. Flavour is tart cherries, some sweet fructose tones with mild earthy tones too. This was apparently a short one-off batch before going zero point zero.
