t IJ (Scharrel) IJwit

Brewed by Brouwerij ’t IJ
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Amsterdam, Netherlands

sharp aroma, grapefruit, salmon, bleu cheese, lillies, paprika, crackers. doesnt taste like the aroma at all. has mustardy flavors, sones, paprika, flat, cheese grease... weird.

Hazy medium gold hue with a large, frothy, white head. Toasted wheat, pepper, paprika, orange zest. Flavor is somewhat restrained compared to the aroma. Moderatley sweet, lightly acidic flavor. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic finish. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation.

Very gold color that is not transparent. Aroma is cheese and raw bacon(with salt), vinegar and peppercorn. Deviled eggs and hardcore paprika are also here. Tates like chalk and honey wax/ Im fuckin drinkin honey combs and honey mustard from chili’s.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a tall, creamy and rather stable head. Fruity and slightly sour nose. Lots of fruit in the flavour - mandarin? No bitterness, but a weak sourish finish. This may not really look like a Belgian Witbier, and it’s also too strong - but flavourwise it’s moving in that direction. 280705
