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.

330ml bottle, 7.9% abv, shared with Finn. Bought at Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. A fawn-coloured head resting on top of a near-black body, clingy lacing. Malt-driven aromas with a chocolate bite, nicely roasted. Fine blended taste of chocolate, raisin and dark bread. Rounded mid-sweet malty ending, smoothly roasted. Pleasing. (Tromsø 22.09.2020).

Delt med Rune i WCveien. Svart. Lavt lysebrunt skum. Aroma av lakris, sjokolade & røstet malt. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken balansert. Som aromaen. Farlig lettdrikkelig.

12/IX/20 - on tap @ BBP Wanderlust Festival (Brussels), BB: n/a (2020-900) Thanks to Erwin and ElManana+1 for sharing today’s beers!

Cloudy blond to orange beige beer, small dense creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lovely, lots of fruity hops, resinous, tropical fruits, very nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, bit watery, nice with lots of dank hops, bit resinous, fruity, very bitter. Aftertaste: dry, bitter, bit acidic, very piny, resinous, bit sourish, nice one, but I was expecting a bit more maybe.

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Next-to-clear warm golden body, covering white head, faint lacing. Restrained aromas of grassy hops and green tea. Grass and saison fruity taste profile, lightly spiced. Semi-dry and rather sweet fruity ending. Medium plus bodied. Satisfying. (Tromsø 23.08.2020).
