I.P.Antje

Tap to rate

Citrus, tropical fruit and peach make this Belgian IPA fruity, with a soft, lightly bitter finish. Belgian yeast meets Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo hops, and the bitterness is clear but gentle at 35 EBU. The name honours Antje van Gerbrandje, the widow known in late 19th-century Limmen as the village's 'bokkenwijfie' for the billy goat she lived off, and namesake of Dampegheest's very first beer. 6% ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes from Citra and Amarillo hops, joined by distinct tropical fruit esters—mango and passion fruit—characteristic of the Belgian yeast strain. A soft stone fruit note of ripe peach adds depth, while a light herbal undertone suggests the Mosaic hop's herbal backbone without dominating.

◐ Taste

On entry, the palate is immediately fruity with concentrated tropical and citrus character that matches the aroma. The mid-palate remains soft and rounded, with the Belgian yeast's slight spice and phenolic warmth balancing the hop oils. The 35 IBU bitterness arrives as a clean, measured finish—distinct but never harsh, allowing the peach and citrus complexity to remain central.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the gentle hop bitterness lingering for a moderate length without any astringency. Residual stone fruit and citrus notes fade gradually, leaving a dry, slightly herbal aftertaste that invites another sip.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
