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.

Donkergeel bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en licht fruitig met iets van citrus en wat gras. Niet echt bijzonder.

0,33 l can from Wijnalda, Haren. Black in the glass, more than one finger beige head. Not as thick texture as expected. Kruiden/herbs on the nose, some malt.Taste starts intensive medicine herbal, sweetness with malt in the background. Licorice und christmas cookies. Dry herbal bitterness. Little bit alchoholic. Interesting but not expected due to the style.

Goudkleurig bier zonder schuim. Smaak is vrij bitter en kruidig met iets van hout, gras en druiven. Helaas vind ik de combinatie van het zure van de druif met de bittere hop wat minder. Ook komt het bier wat waterig over.

Meh okay. A bit thin for the style and abv. Could be more round and robust. Okay overall, but weak in style. Het lagerhuys ams

Whisky, fudge, brownie, hint van hout, licht boozy, koolzuur is wat aan de harde kant waardoor het licht mineralig wordt, gebrande mout, hint van koffie, chocolade, medium zoet, beetje Belgische stout met whisky. Medium body. Prima, gewoon lekker.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.9%. Slightly hazy golden colour, moderate to small white head. Pleasant aroma of citric and herbal hops, also notes of tropical fruits, pine and spruce. The flavour has the same elements, with a moderate bitterness, well balanced and nice to drink.

Can, 4.5%. Fruity aroma, hint of bubble gum. Almost clear light copper colour. Small white head. The flavour is fruity with a fairly high bitterness, and slightly astringent. Bubble gum notes, perhaps tropical fruits. Yeasty finish.
