t IJ Turbock

The aroma is lovely of peaches, coriander and other spices as well as some sharpness from the yeast and alcohol. The color is hazy orange and it has a beutiful though disappearing beige head. The flavor is of caramel, oranges, yeast, and coriander. A nice beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "’t IJ IJndejaarsbier". Reddish brown, hazy with a huge sediment and a small off-white head. Lots of carbonation though. Malty and bitter with no particular flavour really sticking out. Perhaps a bit of candy sugar, but nothing much. Far from the best ’t Ij beer. 080105

Bottled at Monk’s Café,Stockholm. Hazy dark amber, dense head. Yeasty nose with a lemony tang - typical ’t IJ style. Floral and grassy with a body that is slimmer than expected. Fruity and vinous with some caramelly malt and striking resiny bitterness.

Bottle 33cl @ home.
Light unclear medium to dark red amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, berry, moderate hoppy, moderate to light heavy yeasty. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration, and a light peppery finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (030708)

Bottle (from Cracked kettle). Hazy opaque reddish brown colour, big beige foamy head, good lace. Aroma is yeast, some fruits, bready malts as well as some sweet malts and spices. Flavour is mild roast, raisins, leathery notes, yeast, spices, herbs and also quite much fruits and licorice. Hides the alcohol very well. Nice yeasty and licoriceish aftertaste.

Draught. Weak smokey, quite sour aroma. Cloudy amber colour, small white head. The sourness balances the maltiness very well. Very vinous flavour. Actually easily drinkable in spite of ABV. I wonder if it was intended to end up like this. 5 3 7 3 15

Bottle, 9% as Ijnde Jaars. 18 months past BB date. The aroma is creamy and fruity with a little sourness to it. Hazy red, brown colour, tiny floaties. Big off-white head, quite stable. The flavour is peppery and creamy, a little alcoholic with a good, slightly sweet, malt base. There is also an underlying sourness which might or might not not be intended, but in any case it does not hurt the flavour. The sourness gets a little citric, with citrus fruits and dried sweet fruits, raisin. Creamy mouthfeel. 6 4 7 4 17

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with a huge off white head. Aroma of yeast, grass and leather. Flavour of grass, yeast, leather and hops.
