caesar (3943) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - MAY 20, 2013
Bottled. Hazy golden color, short frothy off-white head, quite some tiny debris floating around. Aroma is very spicy of yeast esters, bit of funk and bubblegum, soft earthy hop, hint of grain. Medium bitter taste, quite dry and sparkling. Soft sourish note, probably from the typical funky IJ yeast. Bit too dry to make it a nice drinker.

supermeniscus (26) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAR 22, 2013
UPDATED: APR 30, 2013 Re-rated. Bottle bought at Schiphol airport (sort of impulse buy) I?ve tried a few of the IJ beers and this one was probably the most enjoyable. Has a yeasty floral smell. I love hazy appearance so this one?s looking good. Taste is dough upfront then fruit and vegatable followed by a short-lived hoppy aftertaste. Finishes surprisingly clean and refreshing. Therefore I drank this one in no time at all!This is a well made beer and I reccommend trying it

MrHangover (1099) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - MAR 4, 2013
Bottle @ de paas. Pours a slight cloudy blonde beer with a small white head. Aroma very yeasty, floral and has definitely some malty notes. Flavor has touches of yeast, the IJ flavors are present, as well as a very flowery, spring feeling flavor. Quite nice, could have used some more body, but it is ok like this as well.
