Elser
An old Dutch white beer in the kuit tradition: slightly hazy and pale, with a grassy bouquet and fresh citrus notes. A lot of oats go into it, and its brewers say the taste had been lost for a long time. Elser (5.5 %) is named for alder-rich land, once common around Amstelveen and Aalsmeer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Elser
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
