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.

An orange beer, a head is small and blond. Aroma has grapefruits and tropical notes of mangos. The fruitness could be more fresher. Taste has some mangos, grapefruits, at least medium bitterness. Medium bodied, harsh carbonation. Decent beer, could be more fresh.

A light yellow, strong bubbling, a head is big and white. Aroma has strong lemon, spyciness, mangos and some herbs. Taste is quite harsh, lemon and peppery spicyness, mangos, quite dry, some sourness of lemon. Almost medium bodied, strong carbonation. Strongly spicy and lemony saison, a quite good beer.

Bottle at Beer Hunters. Pinky amber color, good off-white head, lace. Grassy, gooseberry bush aroma. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Citrus, gooseberries, grass, sweetish fruityness. Lingering citrus in the aftertaste. Much more "session ipa" than amber ale.

Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were creamy coffee, sweetness, vanilla, liquorice, burnt malts, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste had coffee, vanilla and bitterness. A nicely done spiced-up strong dark brew.
