3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled at Gollem, Amsterdam. Perfumy, yeasty and sour aroma in combination with a hefty salty bitterness in the flavour makes this a highly interesting beer from ’t IJ.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap @ Café Belgique. Hazy golden orange, big white head. Smell of coriander, IJ yeast funk, spices. Taste is sublime, but rather sharp. Some fruity sweetness first, but then really dry and bitter, with a very bitter aftertaste. A lot of citrus/grapefruit in there too. Bottle @ Café Gollem: Tastes pretty much the same, but with a tad less bitterness and more yeasty funkiness.
mIJ favourite!
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Courtesy of Yespr. It’s a slightly hazy and very beautiful, warm orange-golden beer with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of yeast in a very harsh way, making it difficult for me to find much else than yeast. The flavour has sweetness, notes of spice, a light harshness, loads of yeasty notes and a dry, slightly citrussy finish. This simply isn’t my kind of beer, but I can see a lot of others love it.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Cafe Belgique in Amsterdam. Murky dark orange body with a tan head. Big nose of old fruit - aged peaches, old blood oranges, etc, along with candy sugar and some toast and dough. Alcohol is noticeable even for 7%. Creamy and rich up front, sweetening and strengthening over the middle, with a small bite in the finish.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
a blond w/ corriander... from what I hear this was a brewers mistake that was liked so well they kept doing it.
Hazy dark amber coloring nearing brown w/ a tall white head. Odd aroma hints of tart fruits that I did not expect, light spicing corriander then anotehr spice I just can’t pick out under all the corriander.. some sweet sugars blended w/ a light fruit.. different but nice. Nice palate full and well coated while lightly creamy. Odd again in taste like a brett to your lips w/ it’s dry tongue.. just lots of corriander again.. a powerful yeast taste I’m told is typical to this brewery, earthy w/ breads and some sweetness... an odd fruity oily taste that I think could be juniper oil but I’m not sure finishes very dry. I like this stuff.
