Description
Stadsbrouwerij de Dikke brouwt traditioneel Wijks Kuytbier naar de Utrechtse ordonantie van 1495. Hierin staat beschreven dat Kuytbier gebrouwen moest worden met een zeer groot gedeelte Haver als mout, de grondstof voor bier.
Omdat gewoon water vroeger niet gezond was om te drinken dronk iedereen bier. Door het brouwproces was bier betrouwbaarder dan water. Zelfs kinderen dronken bier, de dunne variant met 2% alcohol.
Het Wijkse bier was een zogenaamd dikbier (hoog alcohol-percentage van 6,5%). Vandaar de door ons gekozen naam.

Bottle @ benzai’s carnaval. Hazy yellow with a small white head. Smells malty, slightly hoppy, fresh. Tastes malts, slightly hoppy, some herbs. Not too bad. Thin to medium body, soft carbo.

Bottle from Barrique Odijk, BB June 2016, large sample. Hazy golden color, short dying head. Aroma is very spicy, peppery, coriander, flowery hops, bit citrussy as well. Medium bitter in taste, quite spicy again, leaving a dry peppery feel, cinnamon. But also some sticky sweetness. Lack of carbonation is not too bad as you can taste it better this way, but could make it a bit more smooth and less sticky. Saisonesque and quite tasty actually. I like it.

33 cl. bottle @ home, gift from my parents. Hazy golden with virtually no head due to the low carbonation. Malty aroma with some yeast and hops. Taste is bittersweet. mouthfeel is like a weizen, with that creamy wheat sensation. In the finish the hops are noticable more present than when only smelling the beer. Apart from the appearance and the underwhelming aroma quite a nice beer.
