Hey everyone!
Today, I'm reviewing an American - IPA called Northsea IPA (also called as Mooie Nel IPA) from the brewery Jopen. Hops in this beer: citra, simcoe and cascade hops. Malts: unfortunately, I didn't find any information about that.
This is a new brewery for me, so it's gonna be interesting!
Jopen Brewery is a Dutch brewery from Haarlem, that was founded in 1992. Jopen didn't have an own brewery until 2010, but they used facilities of other breweries.
The name Jopen is derived from the 112 liter barrels in which the Haarlem beer used to be transported.
They have used two recipes that was found in the Haarlem city archive. The first one was a recipe from 1407, the recreation of this was named Koyt, a gruit beer. The second one dates from year 1501 and was named Hoppenbier.

Appearance: bright amber color with a medium white head.
Smell: citrus, tropical fruits, caramel.
Mouthfeel: medium body, medium carbonation.
Taste: hoppy citrus, caramel, moderate bitterness.
The aromas were quite nice, but the taste was nothing extra. A typical IPA taste in my opinion.
Beautiful bottle shape. I must say, one of the neatest bottles I have seen!
Verdict: An okay IPA, but quite boring IMO. Nothing special. I will give it a rating 3 out of 5.

Sounds like a good brew, citra hops are always good

Yes, citra hops are nice but not my favorite! I like Simcoe hops more! :)
