Nog Eendje

Tap to rate

A fruity blond (6%) with caramel tones and fresh hops. It is named after the wild duck, whose drake looks his best in spring while courting every female, and which is the only duck species with a curled tail. The name doubles as an invitation: and another one? Another one, then. Jopen in Haarlem does the brewing.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and clean, with fruity sweetness and caramel tones developing across the mid-palate. Light noble hop bitterness emerges gently, countering the malt without aggression, while the beer maintains a crisp, refreshing quality throughout. The balance tips slightly toward malt sweetness, though hop presence remains perceptible.
