Ut 1e Kieft-ai

Tap to rate

A malty, round spring bock with biscuit and caramel, a light spiciness and soft hop bitterness, ending in a long, pleasantly malty finish despite 7% ABV. The name nods to the first lapwing egg of the year, a traditional sign of approaching spring that was once presented to the queen; today the egg may still be found but no longer taken, so the brewery brews this beer every spring instead. Copper-coloured, with Saaz and Brewers Gold, released from 1 March.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft malt notes—biscuit and light caramel sweetness that suggest the spring character of the brew. Behind this sits a delicate noble hop spiciness, particularly from the Saaz, which adds an herbal edge without dominating. A touch of bread-like yeast character rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is round and malty, with prominent caramel sweetness balanced by gentle bitterness from the Brewers Gold. The mid-palate remains full-bodied and bready, with the noble hops providing a restrained, herbal counterpoint. Bitterness builds gradually and finishes soft, never harsh, leaving the malt as the dominant impression.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and pleasantly malty, with caramel notes lingering gently on the palate. Despite the modest 7% ABV, there is no boozy heat; instead, a dry, satisfying malt character persists, inviting another sip.
