Description
Our Poolside protolab in Amsterdam is a small (tiny) brewery where we spend months (sometimes years) honing every recipe to perfection. We experiment, tweak and taste until a recipe is just right and then we work with a big brewery to scale it up and bring Poolside to life.

We only work with independent brewers who we trust and respect and we work closely with them to scale our recipes for their systems. We don’t work with any one specific brewery, we are nomads. We will always be transparent about where our beer is brewed so check the can if you are interested.

Can from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Aroma is fruity hops with citrus, pineapple, tropical fruits, notes of mango and grapefruit. Touch of pine with a soft malty backbone. Flavour is medium bitter and lightly sweetish. Medium body. Bright and juicy, well-hopped and superdrinkable. Promising new brewer.

Can from somewhere in Leiden. Hazy orange gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts but delivering the requisite amount of creamy sweetness. Well chosen hop array brings crisp pine. Bright peachy citrus. Candy fruits. Floral fruits and crisp floral fruits. A little hop spice starts to bite before a crisp finish. Nice dipa, light and plenty hoppy with a lot going on.

Shared can. Pours hazy golden and a white frothy head. Aroma's of tropical sweet fruit, light floral hops. Flavour is moderate sweet, fruity. Medium bodied. Just minor bitterness in the finish. OK, but not too fresh it seemed.
