Kaapse Brouwers

Kaapse Jaapie is a robust Imperial Red Ale that pushes the boundaries of a classic American Amber Ale. It presents a deep copper-red hue, releasing a complex bouquet of rich caramel and toasted malts. Vibrant American hops contribute resinous and citrusy undertones that balance the initial malty sweetness. The palate is defined by a bold interplay of ripe red fruit esters and a firm, persistent hop bitterness. At 9.4% ABV, it offers a significant warming sensation, making the full-bodied experience feel both indulgent and structured, finishing with a lingering harmony of hop oils and toasted sugars.
