t IJ Columbus

The aroma is very fruit sweet. The color is red-brown and it has a beutiful but disappearing head. The flavor is of lingonberries, fruit, and dry wood. It ends on a slight bitterness. It has an OK palate.

Bottled. Orange coloured, cloudy. Very flowery aroma. Medium bodied and very sweet. All other flavours are hidden behind the wall of sugar and flowery hops.

(Bottle 33 cl) There ought to be hop-alert printed somewhere on this beer, this truly is a bitter beer. Dutch beers this strong are usually malty and sweet, and even though this certainly contains some malty sweetness the hops overpower everything. A spicy, aromatic bitterness - but bitter indeed. Very bitter. Dark amber with a gigantic, beige shaving foam-like head. A truly unusual beer. 210304
