Mario Castronovo Review of Brouwerij 't IJ

The brewery located at the foot of an old mill is easily accessible by tram. The environment is very beautiful, in the center is the double counter where you have to go to make the order, pay and then you can sit on the benches inside or outside. If you want something to eat on the left side of the counter there is a second counter that sells cheese, salami, a combination of the two, smoked sausages, hard-boiled eggs or peanuts, even here you choose, pay and bring to the table. More than to eat here one comes to drink.
I took the beertasting, a taste of their 5 beers that you can also find in supermarkets around Amsterdam.
FLINK, is a light and very fruity pale ale.
NATTE, is a dubble Belgian-style ale made from lightly toasted malts.
Zatte, is a very balanced triple much to hide his 8 degrees.
IJWIT, is a Belgian-style white beer, fresh and fragrant, with marked coriander and lemon scents.
COLUMBUS, is the strongest with its 9 degrees. It's a complex body beer, it starts off sweet and ends bitter, really good.
In general the beers are good, perhaps, according to my personal tastes, a little too delicate, the aromas and flavors are very subtle.
