High Hops from Brouwerij Maximus in Utrecht is an American IPA that balances hop character with genuine drinkability. Brewed with five American hop varieties, it delivers citrus and floral notes alongside herbal pine tones. The amber-coloured ale is refreshingly crisp with a bitter finish that stays measured rather than aggressive. At 6% ABV, it feels accessible and approachable—proof that an IPA need not be extreme to be satisfying.

Maximus was founded on the principle of bringing people together through craft beer. High Hops embodies that philosophy: it offers real hop flavour and fruit-forward character without overwhelming the palate, making it a beer that rewards both hop enthusiasts and those seeking balance.
