Description
Founder Tsjomme Zijlstra's idea to start his own brewery came to him after his time in England. He started to brew his own beer at home and decided in 2014 that he wanted go bigger. He met Menno and John, owners of Brouwerij de Molen in Bodegraven, and told them his story. They taught him how to brew with one of their old brewing installations. Kaapse Brouwers was born.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is roasted malt. Picking up notes of caramel and some coffee. Lightly toasted and burnt. Pleasant hoppy bitterness and light sweet, with a light to medium body. Nicely roasty Lager.

Can from a local bottle shop. Aroma is piney hop with malt, some caramel, pine resin, touch of ripe orange and grapefruit. Flavour is on the sweet side with a medium bitterness. Body is medium. Nicely piney, but lacks some fruitiness for balance.

Can from Beerdome. Citrussy hop with orange, malt, light pine, touch of grapefruit. Almost medium bitterness, light sweetish. Lacks a little spirit, but enjoyable enough basic IPA. A more bitter flavour would have elevated this.

Can from Beerdome. Fairly juicy with zesty orange, fruit peel, soft pale malt, tropical fruit, mango, some passion fruit. Moderate to medium bitter with a light sweetness. Smooth. Well-rounded and juicy, excellent beer. The kind of balance I prefer.
