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.

We are Kaapse Brouwers. We are the brewers who introduced craft beer to Rotterdam, and Rotterdam to the world. With our Kaapse recipes we brew non-conformist beers. We choose for bold recipes and love to experiment with different flavors to create contemporary craft beers.

Hazy amberish-brown colour, minimal creamy beige-ish head; aroma of dried fruity (with apricot dominance), soy sauce, some resiny, caramel, candied orange peel, marmaalde and slight chocolate notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with some grape juice and alcoholic spiciness; I like it!

Pours clear pale gold. Medium small white head. Scent is very full, grainy, citrus, mild stonefruit / resinous. Quite intense with a sharp zing. Taste is full, quite bitter and sharp, on a dry backbone - this has some WC aspects. Medium-mild resins, some citrus, mild stonefruit. Crisp outspoken maltyness. Easy drinkability, and a pleasant one indeed.
