Oude Molstraat White IPA

Haagsche Broeder

Tap to rate

An ode to the streets of The Hague, number 1 in the series: Oude Molstraat, where the monastery stands and where its first monastery beers were sold. This 6.5% White IPA owes its freshness to wheat and aromatic hops. The brewery counts it among its signature beers, and it is served in almost every bar on the street itself.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Oude Molstraat White IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-amber body with a hazy, opaque quality characteristic of wheat beers. The head forms dense and persistent, clinging to the glass in fine lacing as the beer settles. Carbonation reads as moderate, supporting the crisp impression on the palate.

◌ Aroma

Wheat dominates the nose, delivering soft, grainy sweetness alongside subtle bread-like notes. Aromatic hops layer citrus and herbal complexity—orange zest and green herbaceousness—without aggressive alpha character. A clean fermentation profile allows these elements to blend harmoniously, with no phenolic or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with wheat malt providing a smooth, slightly sweet foundation. Mid-palate develops balanced bitterness—60 IBU present but restrained—alongside citrus hop flavors that brighten without dominating. The finish remains clean, with fading grain sweetness and a dry, slightly peppery hop aftertaste.

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.
