24 Hops Before X-Mas from Brouwerij Kees in Middelburg is an English Strong Ale built on an audacious premise: the number 24 defines everything. Twenty-four hop varieties, twenty-four IBU, twenty-four Plato, and twenty-four EBC. The result delivers caramel, dark fruit and burnt sugar notes, balanced by subtle citrus and floral accents from the Centennial hop.

At 10% ABV, this strong ale presents a full, warming character with genuine complexity between sweetness and hop bitterness. More than a seasonal release, it reflects a brewery unafraid to push boundaries.
