hopIQ found 10 beers that share Veen's malty character. Veen means peat, and the 19th-century workers of The Hague lived on it. This workers' blond is the counterpart to Zand. Smoked malt gives it a lightly smoky taste and aroma. Oak chips that once soaked in whisky, leftovers from NL Parket, join the brew and add balance. A beer for enthusiasts, at 5 % ABV.
