Amsterdam's Brouwerij 't IJ, a craft brewing pioneer since the mid-1980s, presents 't Gouden IJ as a refined golden ale. Brewed from barley malt, wheat malt, rye malt and oat flakes with orange, coriander and hop, it balances sweetness with subtle complexity.

The nose reveals pleasant malt sweetness with coriander and earthy notes. On the palate, a rich, sweet foundation gives way to light bitterness and fruity character. Full-bodied with a soft, persistent foam and a clean, dry finish, this is an approachable yet characterful blonde.
