Brouwerij 't IJ, Amsterdam's iconic windmill brewery founded in 1985, presents this Oaked IPA as an intriguing variation on their core range. At 7.5% ABV, this is a dark-blonde IPA where oak maturation adds complexity to the brewery's signature hoppy character.

The barrel aging introduces subtle layers beneath the assertive hop profile. Expect the floral and grapefruit aromas that define 't IJ's IPA, now complemented by warmth and gentle vanilla notes from the wood. The bitterness remains balanced rather than dominating, allowing room for the fruity finish to shine through.
