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.

33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Clear amber-brown colour, beige head. Aroma of fruit cocktail, sweaty hops, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, caramel, malts, pumpernickel. Flavour is light toast, quite malty and thick, very fruity, tropical fruits, grapefruit, sweet, decent bitter finish. Medium-bodied, feels heavier than 6.2%, a bit like Paulaner Salvator with lots of hops.

BOTTLE 33CL from dEnk. Thanks, Colin!

Look: murky brown with a minuscule orange beige head.
Aroma: Intense and developing citrus hops, orange, also spicyherbal/dry leaves. Lost of caramel balanced by lots of developing hop aroma: lemony citrus, dark semi-fermented grapes, ripe apricot.
Taste: the body is even bigger than aroma: lots of caramel, dudge with lots of hops, moderate bitterness.

An intense IIPA.

Bottle shared by Joes @ weekly tasting. Murky orange-red color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, moderately hoppy, decently bitter, a touch of sweetness. Double IPA? Ehh, not in my opinion. Don’t really like it. A bit thin, a bit flat. Nah, don’t like it.
