Ramses IJsbeer is a robust Scottish ale at 8.9% ABV from Hooge Zwaluwe, brewed by Ramses Bier – a pioneer in Dutch craft beer since the 1990s. This amber-hued beer builds its character on malt and hop as the dominant flavour drivers.

The aroma reveals malt, caramel and woody notes. On the palate, herbal wood, licorice, and spice emerge alongside bitter hop and a touch of anise. A hint of sweetness adds intrigue to this unfiltered, unpasteurised brew.

The finish is dry with pronounced bitterness that lingers. An unconventional and bold beer that embodies Ramses' philosophy: flavours with character.
