t IJ Plzen

Brewed by Brouwerij ’t IJ
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Amsterdam, Netherlands

An orange beer with a beutiful dense white head. The aroma is of grass and yeast. The flavor is of yeast and a dry coriander finish. This beer tastes more like an ale than a pilsener - this mystifies me. For an ale it is good - but for a pilsener it is bad.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy, golden beer with a creamy, white head that leaves some pretty laces in my glass. Vaguely hoppy nose. Light-bodied but dry and well hopped with a short, dry hoppy finish. 291005

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a huge white head. Earthy and spiced yeasty phenolic aroma. Brett-ish and dry flavoured with a mild citric note, dry though and light wheat-like with a nice hoppy note. Dry and yeasty phenolic finish.

Bottled. Golden colour, very hazy. Lively with creamy head. Lightly flowery, citrusy aroma. Dry and rather light bodied, with some yeasty witbier character and an aromatic finish with moderate bitterness.

Bottle. Weak, fruity, hoppy aroma. Pale golden colour, unstable head. Starts a little watery, but turns bitter. Has some aroma hops. OK bitter finish.

Bottled (thanks brunnsbe). Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized foamy head. Wheat and yeast in aroma. Yeast, wheat, sour apples and spice in flavour. Artificial feeling over it. Umm, really a pilsener? Indeed a "different" pilsener in that case...
