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.

Bottled, BB 20-11-2015, large sample. Served in a shaker. Hazy orange color, big frothy off-white head. Aroma is very fruity of the hops, peach, grapefruit, citrus, hint of pine. Slight caramelly hint of the malt. Medium bitter in taste, a bit sharpish, bit dry, slight sweet caramel. Lingering bitter palate. Lovely aroma, a bit unbalanced in flavor though. Nice beer.

Bottle courtesy of my next door neighbours Geraint & Helen, thanks very much! consumed at home Sunday 11th May 2014 Golden in colour with hazy appearance, huge white frothy head and very busy carbonation. Clean, fresh nose. I guess that this is a saison, it certainly tastes like one and a very good one at that! Tasty, fresh, refreshing beer with a little dryness at the end, light citrus a little soapy hoppiness and a nice spicy yeastiness complete the picture. Great beer, this is my second from Kaapse and I’ve enjoyed them both. Loz says the aroma reminded her of an old fashioned shandy bass, I know exactly what she means! Thanks again to Geraint & Helen our lovely next door neighbours. Intrigued to know where they picked this up from. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9
