't Gouden IJ
A malty base and a fine bitterness shape this golden blonde beer at 6.8%. It first appeared as a special in autumn 2023 and proved so popular that it moved into the regular range. Barley, wheat, rye and oat flakes go into the brew with orange, coriander seeds and hops, and the brewery suggests serving it at 5–8 °C.
