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.

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.

Fat på Brewskival 2023. Blekguldig/halmfärgad med hög vit krona. Gräsig, citrus, krispig och torr. Lagom beska. Mellan pilsner och västkust-IPA, även om det i tuffhet är närmre det förra. Möjligen lite mer klassisk IPA.
