HEY!Tjappie

Netherlands·Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

Bread-like malt leads, a touch of maple syrup follows and fruit from Loral and Citra hops lingers in the finish; the body is light and smooth with little bitterness. The addition is a wink at the pancakes of HEY!Pannenkoek, the local Amersfoort pancake place this 5.3% blonde ale was brewed with. Nothing but water, malt, hops, yeast and maple syrup goes in.
