330 ml. bottle shared. BBF March 2017. Hazy golden, fizzy small white head. Nose is indeed similar to Absinth, big star anise in a pleasant way with huge muisjes profile (typical candy form the Netherlands, sugared anise seeds – seems like Dutch Rusk might be the correct English translation). Taste is basically muisjes beer (no wonder this beer was made in the Netherlands), low bitter anise in the finish, base is some grain & low butter. Body is fizzy & bit buttery. Taste is a bit too buttery – base could have been a bit better but the anise / muisjes profile works really well here & reminds we quite well of Absinth. Pleasant surprise actually & other 2 guys really enjoyed it. I saw people ripping on this beer at Tilburg Beer Festival, those people also admitted to hating anise.

Draft at Blaauwe Hand, as Hemel Hopverdomme IPA. Aroma of grain, hop and some peach. Flavor is bittersweet, with sweet caramel, toffee, mild citrus, peach and some malty sweetness. Very british.
