Kaapse Harrie
Dit blonde bier heeft een fris-kruidig aroma van Sladek hop en Szechuanpeper. Een vol-bittere smaak die eindigt in een heerlijk droge afdronk.

33cl bottle at home. Appearance: slightly hazy golden with stable medium sized white head. Aroma: nutmeg, spice, lavender, floral and some plastic.
Taste: medium sweetness and fairly high bitterness. Notes of nutmeg, floral, spice, soapy. The finish is dry and quite wry. Palate: medium bodied, oily texture and lively carbonation. Overall: Pretty okay, nice dry finish, but there is something slightly astringent in aroma and taste. Plastic like. It also missed the funky saison character.
Stark karbonisierter Antrunk. Fein hefig, trocken herb, wenig alkoholisch. Spritzig, der Alkohol Touch bleibt vorhanden, trockener Nachhall. 10/9/10/9//9
33cl Bottle @ Saveur-Biere, Lille, France.
Hazy amber colour with a thin white head.
Aroma is yeast, citrus, malt.
Taste is yeast, citrus, spices, fruits, malt.
Medium body, average carbonation.
Bottle from Ah. Small sample. The aroma has citrus, elderflower, some spice. Bit hazy, golden yellow coloured beer with a firm, white head. The taste is mild bitter with refreshing citrus and flowery tones. Good carbonation. Medium body. Decent beer.
Bottle from Albert Heijn in Mestreech. I expected a better beer after the Karel. Color is hazy and amber with a hardly any head. Spicy nose. Aroma is yeast, spices, funky hops. Palate is dry and inconsistent. This is not a session, but just a brew from what left over in the kitchen. Crap.
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Albert Heijn Culemborg.
Hazy dark amber with a very thin white head. Spicy yeasty aroma with some white pepper. Dry finish and a fairly bitter taste.
Tap @ De kaapse Brouwers Rotterdam, Rotterdam XI 2018. Goeie fris kruidig iets van gember of kardemom en peperig. Diffuus geel biertje met een witte schuimkraag. Redelijk bitter beetje hoppig met onmiskenbaar de Szechuanpeper. Die je tezamen met de hop ook lekker ruikt. Ze zullen me het in Rotterdam misschien niet in dank afnemen maar door het gebruik van deze peper doet deze saison doet me ook wel wat aan de mannenliefde van Amsterdams brouwer Oedipus denken. Ik zie het in ieder geval als een compliment voor deze mooie Rotterdams topper die toevallig dus door de Brouwerij De Molen wordt gebrouwen. Het maakt ook echt niet uit waar het vandaan komt. Overall een licht biertje wat de frisheid ten goede komt en wat het een goeie keus op het zonnige terras maakt. Mits je van pepers houdt en niet meteen aan de Tequila wilt. Origineel glas
Fles 33cl thuis. 6,1%. Bloemig, kruidig, zacht, geel fruit, scherp en bitter in de nadronk. Droogheid weinig aanwezig. Prima. (29-4-2018).
Medium white head, golden copper two shine coloured body, fruity peach ripe pine apple malts spice smell, medium co2 medium bitter some gin malts pine tree like taste
Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een oranje achtig bier met weinig schuim. Het heeft een bloemige geur. De smaak is moutig, bloemig en bitter.

Combined rate of a shared draft at Kaapse brewpub, and bottle at home, half year later. Dark golden with off-white head; falling down easily. Aroma is somewhat malty, but also hoppy and herbal; typical saison yeast. Taste moderate bitter, moderate sweet, yellow/tropical fruits, with more bitter aftertaste. Moderate carbonation. It's an OK saison.
(Re-rate 06/11/21: 7-3-6-4-13 = 3.3)
After a tap and a bottle now a can, at home. Again falling down too easily. Again fine aroma of soft malts, clear spicy yeast and hops. Taste moderate bitter with a soury/citric element; not sweet, no tropical fruits. Firm carbo. Still OK, but not completely in balance, bit too citric.
Golden beer, small head. Aroma is yeast, malt. Taste is the same, quite dry, ok
Goudgeel, witte schuimkraag , iets troebel, redelijk wat koolzuur.
Aroma: Duidelijk een Saison aroma ..... grassig , iets fruitig maar bij deze ook zeer kruidig. Koriander, gemberachtig., peper, beetje floraal en bloemig.
Smaak: Kruidig/peper en grassig, pittige bitter. Achterop komt een prettige fruitigheid... beetje grapefruit achtig....prikkelig en scherp als schil van grapefruit. Meeste komt zover ik het begrijp uit de Sladek hop. Het droge van een Saison is er ook... prettig biertje.... zeer uitgesproken.
Lichte body, iets waterig, makkelijk drinkbaar, voldoende koolzuur. Afdronk is droog, kruidig en prima bitter.
Intriguing saison brew with a green label, which emphasizes the botanical taste, almost like a murky bog of plant matter with beery after-taste. Very intriguing but I don’t think this is for me. Bottle in a bar in Rotterdam that I unfortunately forgot the name of. I believe this was a fairly local brew (edit: it is brewed in Rotterdam). .
330 ml bottle, received from Vinmonopolet (Nettbutikken) appr. 1 year after BB date (23/07/16). ABV is 6.1%, 53 IBU. Slightly hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of fruity, floral and spicy hops (Sladek), also notes of Szechuan pepper. Distinctly peppery and slightly dry flavour, notes of spicy saison yeast and herbal / spicy hops. Tastes a bit "off" in the finish. Probably better when fresher.
Taster on tap @ Kaapse Brouwers Rotterdam. Robe pale. Bière trop aqueuse avec un gros goût de ferme...
Peper en hop zorgen voor een kruidige en bittere smaak. Sladek hop is verantwoordelijk voor deze smaak. Lekker bier!
Exp. date 05/2016. Opened in 06/2017. Pours hazy dark orange with a stable, cloudy head. Apealling looks. Aroma is malty. a bit grassy and herbal. Some hops as well. Murky and soapy tones. Okayish. Flavor is quite mild in general. Mildly sweet, mildly spiced. Some herbal tones, refreshing kick in the end. There is a nice lingering bitterness after the sip. Clear notes of rye as well. Nice and refreshing Saison. Medium bodied, thick texture, lively carbonated.
Drank with Rik 23-05-17 while watching Brooklyn Nine Nine. Smells like Oedipus’ Thai Thai triple but taste is quite watery, slight coriander and just in general not nice.
The taste is good, but nothing special. The taste stays to long in your mouth.
2017 - 04 - 26 330ml bottle. orange golden color. smalle white head. herbs in aroma. bit bitter taste.
Fles (in 2013, toen gaf ik 3 sterren). Goed bier, weinig meer over te zeggen.
Clear orange body with a medium white head. Aroma is yeasty, light lemon, light herb. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium body, soft carbonation, watery texture.
Draft pour at the source. The beer is a clear yellow with a fluffy head of white foam. The aroma is grassy and herbal. Nearly tea-like. Taste is moderately bitter and earthy. Medium body and high carbonation.
Bottle from Hoogvliet supermarket in Hardinxveld, Netherlands.
The beer is hazy golden colored and has a large white head with nice carbonation.
The aroma is light malty and very fruity, wit notes of szechuan pepper and yeast, but also grass and tropical fruits like grapefruits and peaches.
Taste is light to medium bodied with a light sweetness with tropical fruits and is nicely balanced with a light bitterness and dryness with notes of pepper, grass and yeast.
The finish is bitter and dry, but above all very refreshing.
The szechuan pepper is a little disturbing but actually this is a very good brew from Rotterdam.
Helder donkergeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig, licht zoet en kruidig met iets van kruidnagel en kaneel.
Bottle at 6.1%. Opaque golden colour. Moderate white head. Stays a s a thick lace. Smells of yeast with interesting notes of citrus fruit, bay leaf, pepper. Similar impressions leaves the flavour. Light to medium body. Light bitterness. This is a brew of character. Yet it would puzzle those who don’t like fresh boiled beef aspic looking like beer.
Clear yellow, short lasting white foam ring. Carbonated. Decent aroma and nice bitter taste. Welcome beer. (Velp 201701)
Amber with medium white head. Ginger aroma. Sweet, than sour fruity, than medium bitter taste with remarkable ginger notes.
Bottle, 330 ml from Pivoteka. Shared with JFK10000. Pours clear golden, white head. Herbal aroma, fruity, yeasty, spicy. Sweetish. Bitter finish. Medium bodied.
