Nog altijd lekker. Lijkt wel anders dan vroeger. Beetje deeg-achtig in de smaak.

Bottle, tasted 30 nov 2010, brewed @ De Molen. Orange blonde. Lovely aroma of grapefruit, oily hops, pineapple and melon. Oily hopbitter flavor with lemon, melon and pineapple. Thinnish with some yeasty notes. Resembles a good mix of De Molen Amerikaans and Engels, but perhaps more tart. Good!! 8 3 7 4 14 = 3.6 Bottle, bought in november 2013 @ the brewery, brewed in Den Ham. Deep golden color, hazy. Fresh lemony hops in the aroma. Malty grassy mlemony flavor. fresh citric hops. Lemon. Very well balanced, light but delicious. Hints of soap in the aftertaste.

flesje dankzij ruil met @Edo, bedankt ! helder gouden met schuimige kraag. Aroma is floraal, hop, den, citrus, mout, zoet, fris en fruitig. Smaken zijn matig zoet, redelijk bitter, matig qua sterkte, matig fruitig van citrus en met name meloen tonen. Wat wel opvalt aan dit bier naast het feit dat er voor 4% wel smaak aan zit het en vrij waterige/dunne body heeft. Ik zou dit biertje echter wel graag willen drinken in de warme periode, bv na het sporten ...

Bottled (backlog). Hazy goldeny amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, citrus, some sweet malts and mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is spices, herbs, toffee, some yeast and mild fruity and floral notes as well. Mellow, but refreshing.

Low alcohol IPA, this was actually my first ’session IPA’, with a very thick, yellowish white, very moussy head captured after gushing, leaving lots of lacing on the edges of the glass; colour is a pinkish orange blonde, completely clouded from the start. Aroma mostly reveals fresh, green hops and dry-hopping, impressions of grapefruit, orange peel, tonic water, hemp, black pepper, dried apricot, some banana, some caramel, rosewater, vanilla, freshly grated ginger, white bread. Taste starts with a vivid, sparkling fruitiness, a basket of oranges, peaches, gooseberries and red apples as it were, with lots of citrussy ’fraîcheur’, inevitably thinnish mouthfeel, light caramelly maltiness, very yeasty; from the middle onwards, a dry, resinous, ’green’ hop bitterness kicks in, very citrussy (Amarillo) and aromatic (Sladek, i.e. Saaz-like), building a surprisingly thirst-quenching, long, complex, dry bitter finish. If the American craft breweries invented this style: kudos. What a great idea to capture the essence of an assertive IPA in a low alcoholic beer... I do suspect, however, that this particular example was not intended to be completely cloudy and gushing, so something must have gone wrong, but I really enjoyed this nevertheless.
