Kaapse Brouwers

Kaapse Tijger is a sophisticated German Pils that emphasizes a soft, smooth delivery while maintaining classic lager crispness. The aroma is defined by moderately high flowery and herbal hop notes, resting on a clean, grainy-sweet malt base of toasted crackers and dough. The palate mirrors this balance, where a gentle initial malt presence is quickly swept away by a firm, spicy hop bitterness. Its clean fermentation profile and high attenuation result in a bone-dry finish with a subtle minerality. This beer offers a refreshing, elegant sensory experience, characterized by its refined hop-forward profile and exceptionally polished mouthfeel.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring prominent floral, herbal, and spicy hop notes. Supported by a low grainy-sweet, doughy malt character. Clean, neutral fermentation profile without esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial light grainy malt sweetness is rapidly overtaken by a firm, spicy, and herbal hop flavor. Bitterness is assertive but clean, leading into a very dry, crisp, and refreshing finish. Aftertaste lingers with a pleasant herbal hop note and a touch of cracker-like malt.
