Nocoholics Review
Uiltje means little owl in Dutch. And the first sip of this beer does something to you. Your shoulders drop. Your vision sharpens. The background noise fades. You don’t drink this beer — you enter a different state of awareness. You perch. Still. Focused. You are the owl now.
By the time the can is empty, the transformation is complete. You turn your head 270 degrees toward the fridge. There might be one more. There might not. Either way, you’re already on the hunt. Silent. Alert. A bird of prey scanning the shelf for its next citrusy target. You’ve tasted clarity, and you want it again.
The Bird of Prey IPA, brewed in Haarlem by Uiltje Brewing Company, doesn’t fluff around. It hits with a burst of grapefruit and tropical aroma, follows through with crisp bitterness, and lands with a dry, clean finish. The carbonation is tight, the flavour focused, the noise minimal. There’s no sweetness. No hesitation. Just hop-forward precision flying straight at your palate.
This beer doesn’t try to entertain. It doesn’t shout. It watches, waits, and strikes exactly when it needs to. You don’t drink Bird of Prey to wind down. You drink it to level up. And when it’s gone, you sit in silence — wide-eyed, fridge-lit, and suddenly very aware that not all alcohol-free beers are created equal.
