3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
from crackedkettle.com - pours a hazy golden-yellow colour under a huge foamy white head; nice lace; fresh and solid hoppy nose showing straw and grapefruit; medium-bodied, lively and bitter; moderately dry herbal and fruity finish - a nice beer
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hazy pale gold body with a huge, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh canned peaches with some cake donuts. There is also some notes of hay and grassy hops. The taste is a nice earthy note of parsnips with some apples. There is also a little bit bread crust and a hint of sour in the finish. Nice and clean, if it wasn’t for the price, I’d love to have a few of these at one time. Another solid brew from Ij, and a fantastic pils.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orange with a huge head. For a pilsener it is VERY perfumed with yeast, orange, citrus and coriander. It ends dry and hoppy and is all in all very enjoyable!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught @ ’t Ij, Amsterdam. Blonde. Fruity leafy hops and pleasant rounded bready malts. Tasty bitterness and off-dry in the mouth helps to keep this drinkable. Tasty.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Pale orange, heading towards green (shut up!). Big healthy tight head. Massive crisp hoppy aroma. Soft mouthfeel, but the hops kick in very very quickly. Decently smooth malty body too. Good pils. Scratch that - better than pils as it’s got the full body of top fermentation and non-filtration.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear gold color with rising bubbles and a thin sheen for head. Bready malt smell with mild hops. Smooth body. Mild flavor of bready malts and yeast with a lightly bitter finish. 123106
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours out in a pale golden colour with a rich eruptive white foam. Yeasty aroma of crackers, biscuit and mild banana with dryish crisp notes of white bread, orange-peels, grass and minerals. Flavour starts quite sweet of crackers and oranges but finishes really dry and bitter of grassy hops with touches of yeast. Really nice, lot’s of character.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep cloudy orange-yellow brew. Aroma of honeyish malts, soft spicy yeast and some sweet floral hops. Roses/violets and sweet pilsner malt base. A light crispness. Palate is a bit watery though. Hops appear to have faded quite a bit. Light honey citrus on the back. Still has good bitterness. Not bad, but would like to try it fresher.
