Maximus High Hops
Niets zo vervelend als na een lange dag werk in de zinderende hitte zin in bier, maar er is geen bier. De Engelsen begrepen dat al in de 17e eeuw, en voegden wat extra hop en alcohol toe aan het bier dat houdbaar moest blijven gedurende de maandenlange reis overzee naar India. Onze India Pale Ale (IPA) is daar de hedendaagse, drinkvriendelijke variant op.
Maar liefst vijf citrusachtige hopsoorten geven onze amberkleurige India Pale Ale verrassend frisse tonen. Door de typisch bloemige en dennige tonen, en licht moutige smaak, is het bier heerlijk fris en niet te bitter in de afdronk. De Highhops wordt gebrouwen met toepassing van onze dry-hopping techniek.

Bottle at home, cloudy golden color, good white head. Nice biterness in the taste. A good IPA.
Bottle from an Albert Heijn in Ghent. Pours clear golden/orange with a frothy, white head. Great smell. The aroma contains (flowery) hops, grass, hay, grapefruit, yeast, orange and spices. It tastes light sweet and medium to heavy bitter, accelerating into the long, spicy, very dry finish, yet staying refreshing. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Really drinkable; on par with Jopen Mooie Nel IPA I had some time ago.
Oranjegeel, wazig, witte foamy schuimkraag, redelijk veel koolzuur.
Aroma: Zoete mouten, karamel, tropisch, mango, ananas, citrus.
Smaak: Vrij zoet in begin, moutig, karamel. Daarna een redelijke bitter, grassig, pijnboom/harsig, floraal. Bitter grapefruit, citrus, citrus/sinaasappelschil. Veel minder tropisch als het aroma.....de nasmaak is vooral netelig , scherp en grassig.
Medium body, veel koolzuur, prikkelig en netelig mondgevoel. Afdronk is grassig bitter.
F: huge, egg-white, average retention
C: deep gold, hazy.
A: tangerine, passion fruits, mango, pineapple, bit of pine.
T: light malty backbone, tangerine fresh fruits, tropical fruits, mango, light earthy, bit of pine resin, medium body, medium carbonation, very good, enjoyed, 33cl bottle from Albert Heijn Duinenwater supermarket in Knokke.
Sweet, malty, caramel, tropical fruit, zesty. Hoppy bitterness, full bodied. It’s like a combination between a Belgian blond and a IPA. Interesting, but not my thing (too much heavy sweetness).

KØLF 240916. Golden-orange color with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hop. Flavor is fruit, malt, hop, pine, grapefruit. Ordinary beer.
330 ml bottle. Unclear orange body with a dense off-white head. Quite mild in aroma, malt with hint of fruit. Quite malty flavor with moderate fruit and bitterness. Medium body and malty aftertaste. Might be a bit old for an IPA.
Botella 33cl. Aroma terroso y fruta madura. Cremosa. Lástima que luego dure poco...
The beer looks like a proper IPA. The color of the brew is a nice amber. The beer is a bit cloudy. On top a rich layer of rough, slightly orangy foam is formed. Retention is good, a nice thick drape remains on top of the beer.
The smell is good. It is not as citrusy as most IPA’s. There is a nice maltiness, enhancing the hops. The hops have some nice rather sweet and fresh fruit aroma’s, not that citrusy, more stone fruit, maybe some spruce. It is nice. There is also a nice bitter component of the hops. Good one. It is not that extremely strong though. It could have been a bit stronger.
The taste is pretty much the same. Nice bitter but fresh and fruity hops and an enhancing malt base. There is a tiny astringent bitterness though, which seems a tiny bit of. This doesn’t really contribute to the taste. It interferes with the balance a bit. Could have been better.
The palate isn’t bad, but not really special. Medium light body and carbonation, rather thin texture. The finish isn’t that long and has a dryish bitterness. All in all, a good beer, but defiantly not the best one around.
Bottle. Color: Clear orange, big frothy off white head. Taste: Hoppy, citrus notes. Grassy and dry. Medium to light body, low carbonation.
Dark orange colour, medium white head. Aroma has grapefruit, yeast, some lemon and caramel. Medium body. Dry hoppy and herbal flavour with lemon.
Bottle 0.33L. Courtesy of Kita. Hazy orange color with a small, frothy, off-white head, that leaves some good lacing. Aroma of grassy flowers, ripe fruits and medicine. Taste starts light bitter, a bit malty, than turns to moderate bitter, grassy, light crispy. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.

Bottle from lisbeer, Portugal. Light hazy gold. Medium white head. Medium bitterness. Medium body. Aroma hops, grass, herbs, pinneapple.
Orange und Blumenwiese mit leicht getreidigen Einschlag sind die ersten Eindrücke bei der Schnupperung. Baby fügt noch Lavendel hinzu. Der Trunk dann ebenfalls schöngeistig. Florale Aspekte flott kombiniert mit unser allseits beliebten Fruchthopfenbittere. Der Abgang dann leider etwas zu kurz. Belgische Hefearomen spielen ebenfalls eine Rolle. Klasse. Kleine Flasche von BREWCOMER KIEL. Ca. 3€.
33cl bottle, poured into a snifter on 29-Jul-2016. Clear orange amber colour with a thick off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and caramel malt. Medium body and carbonation. Flavour of grapefruit, tropical fruit (mango, passionfruit), caramel, and biscuit. Heavily hopped and quite bitter. Bittersweet finish. Lovely lacing down the glass. This really is an excellent IPA.
Sampled from tap at the brewpub. Clear, golden amber with an off-white head. Sweetish, fruity and resiny aroma of mango, peach, orange and a touch of pine. Sweetish, fruity and slightly resiny taste of mango, peach, orange and pine, followed by a short, moderately bitter, resiny and a little dry finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really nice!
Bottle - Slightly hazy orange colour. medium, durable white head. Decent hoppy nose with some orange peel, flowery and herbal notes.

Oranje en nevelig bier. Aroma van citrus, honing, mout en hop. Bitter. Medium body en medium co2.
Nagy, tartós, fehér hab. Kissé homályos, borostyán szín. Illata fűszeres komlós, citrusos beütéssel. Nem tipikus IPA, bár a keserűssége megvan, de nem a tipikus amerikai komlóktól. Markánsan keserű, kis gyantás és édeskés citrusos érzettel. Utóíze keserű pici citrussal. Közepesen testes.
Pours a hazy sunny orangey color, topped with a medium sized creamy white head. Nicely lasting. Stone fruit hoppy aroma, nice and mild. Mildly fruity start, gently sweet. Very nice hoppy bitterness in the finish, lasting into medium long aftertaste .Dry , medium light and crisp.
