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. Clear golden. Quite malty, crisp floral hops, pomegranate, apple, light bitter herbs and a bit of paper. Light sweet and bitter. Just medium bodied, nice crisp feel. Not amazing, and it's a bit light, but it's crisp and drinkeable.

330ml can, 12 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours an off-white head over a hazy orange coloured body, scattered lacing. Quite inviting aromas of dried fruits and caramel malts. Solid, but rather overly sweet taste of caramel malts, ripe banana, and stewed fruits. Sweet, long lived, ripe fruity ending with warmth from the alcohol. Okay slow sipper on a Sunday afternoon, just too sweet in the long run. (Tromsø, 16.06.2024).
