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.

Tap @ Kaapse Fest, small sample. Hazy yellow to golden color, short head. Aroma has some citrus, bit tart, bit wheat, some leaves and funk. Soft sour taste. Bit thin. Ok.

Sampled draft @ “Kaapse Brouwers 1st Anniversary Beer Festival”. Black with almost no head. Nose is huge Bordeaux, very heavy & has a light glue-like quality, very vinous with liquorish, syrupy malts, faint molasses & alcohol. Taste is a mix of soy sauce & liquorish with thick Bordeaux with a strong glue-like quality, very vinous, very oily soy sauce, light booze in the back, faint charcoal & vinous roast,… Body is very oily, big wine, like thick soy sauce, very low carbonation. Okay beer but not really what it should be. A lot of things should be fine-tuned and investigated here.
