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.

Oranjebruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en bitterzoet fruitig met iets van hars, wat grapefruit en wat zoete siroop. Voor een IPA wel behoorlijk zoet maar persoonlijk kan ik dat erg waarderen.

Fairly well made beer. On the bitter side for the low abv and balance. But solid job worth buying more kaapse beer. Bierkonig ams

Roodbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is overwegend bitter met iets van citrus, wat karamel, sinaasappel en een heel klein beetje rook. heel goed met een droge afdronk.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, very thin white head. Aroma: Brett, malty. Taste: Malty, moderate to over moderate sweet. Light bitterness. Brett funk. Spicy hints. Medium body. Everything ok so far, but where is the carbonation gone? Almost flat. Sometimes that's ok, but in this case this beer would definitely benefit from more carbonation. Drinkable, quite ok, but minuspoints for that.

375 ml waxed top bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.5%. Hazy reddish brown colour, minimal and shortlived off-white head. Aroma of grape juice, wine and oak, some malts in the background. Light bodied for its ABV. The flavour is not very sweet, and has the same elements as the aroma. Nice enough.

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!
