Très bonne bière De molen. Les malts sont pils et caramel, les houblons sladek (amerisant), columbus et amarillo. Vraiment bonne, assez légère, une amertume présente sans être très marquée.
Proefglas van 33cl-fles. U: Sterk wazig oranje met een witte schuimkraag. G: Perzik, mango, floraal en lichte citrustoets. S: Tropisch fruitig met hopbitterheid. Perzik, wat floraal en licht zeperig. M: Dorstlesser met medium carbonatie.
EBC 23. EBU 37. Amberkleurig bier met mooi witte en wand klevende schuimkraag. Geur: C-hop, wat pompelmoes, perzik. Smaak: hopbitter, ietwat zeperig, floraal, wat fruitig, pompelmoes. Medium koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: bitter. Licht en lekker.
Hazy deep amber. Citrus, passion fruit, ripe mango, floral, resin, grassy, and herbal while malt with background notes of caramel and toffee.
Medium body with smooth mouthfeel and lively carbonation generated generous amount of frothy wave through the palate, finish is rather dry.
Hazy golden copper body. Medium white head. Aroma of lemon, lime, lightly piney note. Flavours of lemon, lime, orange, lightly piney notes. Some bitterness. Medium citrusy and piney bitter finish. Good and simple.
330ml bottle. Hazy amber with an enormous beige head, took about 5 mins to pour. Citrus and pine on the aroma, grapefruit. Taste is piney, resinous, citrus, grapefruit, slightly tropical, bitter. Medium body, soft carbonation. Taste felt a little muted compared to the aroma, possibly because it's 6 months old, but good enough.
Bottle at home. Clear copper, rich cappuccino head. Peachy, easy malts, pink grapefruit, cream, chocolate and fresh hops. Carbonated, light sweet malts, tropical fruit (papaya, mango), cream, bitter finish with balsamic note. Nice low alcohol drink.
Unfortunatly I let this expire last month, but even if not fresh it's not bad. The citrus bitterness is there. Very dry but thirst-quenching.
Aromas citricos y frutales
Buen aspecto carbonatacion media poco persistente
En boca balanceada, fruta madura al principio y final citrico
Aroma is sweet and sticky pineapple. Taste is quite sweet with a whole lot of lemon. Quite bitter with a bit of tartness.
Robe blonde dorée, légèrement trouble, mousse blanche moyenne. Nez de fruits de la passion, de pamplemousse, d’orange, de melon. Bouche agrumes : pamplemousse et zest d’oranges, la base maltée se distingue en arrière bouche. Carbo OK, longueur moyenne, corps et alcool légers, amertume moyenne. Superbe bière de soif tout en étant de dégustation : légère et désaltérante avec malgré tout un beau caractère, un sans faute dans le style !
Pours amber orange with a big fluffy off white head.
Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, fresh. Hop galore.
Taste is a malty and hoppy sensation. Citrusy and fruity bitterness on top of a malty base.
Oily texture. Medium body and medium carbonation.
Couleur blonde un peu voilée, mousse décente, nez très agréable sur la pêche, on sent qu’il y a du houblon là-dedans. Sensation qui se confirme en bouche avec une bonne amertume. On note également des arômes de peau d’orange en sus. Ouaip,on pourrait presque la qualifier d’IPA, mais ça manque un peu de watts. Sympa tout ça.
From a 330ml bottle on 7/5/2017. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a small to medium head. The nose features some crmel malt and fruit. The falvour follows suit - a decent caramel malt backbone, some citrus fruit sweetness, and decent dollop of balancing hops. Medium body with average to lively carbonation. A quite solid APA without anything standing out. Does taste bigger than 4.5% however.
4.5%ABV. APA.
Poured out amber. 12SRM.
Nose is sweet malt with a hint of citrus or pine, it’s so light, I can’t really tell.
Mouthfeel is soapy. Palate is sweet malt with honey grahams and elderflower honey. Hops are bitter melon, sap, light resin.
Finish is lingering and bitter and back of the throat with resin and sap. I’m Glad I did this as a blind tasting and was already wondering if there were Columbus hops in this one....and it turns out there were. So it’s that lingering bittter melon clinging to the back of my throat this whole time.
Overall, this was as sweet and bitter experience. A bit thin on body, which has been my experience with De Molen in general.
Bottle.Bronze with a medium head.Floral flavours dominate at first then hops kick in.Final flavour is bitterness.A quite complex beer that is worth trying.
.33l bottle with friends, aroma is sweet and fruity, sour hints aswell. appearance, cheap lable but nice beer, hazy amber colour and offwhite head. Bitter taste with sour hints. High carbonation, mouthfeel isnt pleasant
Hazy amber, huge off-white head and lots of sticky lacing. Aroma of ripe fruits, orange peels and some tropical notes. Medium-light body, soft carbonation, tastes of caramel, ripe fruits, orange, pine and some spices. Very dry and bitter finish. A good ale.
Tap@De Molen Takeover, Taphouse, Copenhagen (07/03/2017) - golden amber coloured pour with white head. Aroma and taste is a medley of tropical and citrus fruits, medium pale malts, some light caramel, grapefruit, peachy, lemon, grassy hoppy bitter finish.
Geelbruin bier met witte kraag. Sinaasappelschil, hop, karamel. Bitter, licht zoet. Medium body en co2.
Floral hops, sweet citrus fruits, bittersweet orange, bread and grain malts. Hazy brown, massive, off-white head. Light bitter. More bitter floral and grassy hops, bitter citrus fruits, grapefruit, soft carbonation, medium bodied, bitter and dry finish. Nice APA, well-balanced, intense and complex aroma. Bottle from Red Squirrel, High Wycombe.
De Molen Amerikaans. 2014? Zapach: cytrusy. Ananas na 1. planie. Smak: słodkawy, silny ananas. Goryczka średnia. Finisz lekko wodnisty. Mało się dzieje poza ananasem, a finisz zawodzi.
From tap at Taphouse. Clear golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops, fruit, peach, citrus and bitterness.
0,33cl bottle at Sorry Mom Liquor Store Athens.Aroma of hops,citrus,peach. Pours golden/amber.Full solid and lasting head. Easy going with slighlty bitter finish.
Für ein Bitter wäre es sicherlich Outstanding, würde allerdings auch stark an ein APA erinnern. Was es auch ist, steht sogar auf der 0,33l Flasche 😉. Egal, tolles Bier. Zuerst besticht die üppig trübe und amber/bräunliche Farbe, inklusive Cremekrone. Klasse. Der Geruch ebenfalls spitze nur leider etwas sanft. Hier gibt’s florale Nuancen, kräutrige Hefe und nussig malzige Kuchenaromen zu erschnuppern. Natürlich kommen auch Früchte ins Spiel, Mango sicherlich und vielleicht ein bißchen Zitrone und Maracuja. Der Trunk dann relativ schlank und spritzig, trotzdem kommt auch ein sweety malty Twist hinzu. Yepp!!! Und dann der very DRY und bittere Nachtrunk. Die 37IBUs werden voll ausgespielt. Man könnte sagen es bleibt sehr lange staubig 😀. Good Stuff. Again. Direkt von dem DE MOLE Shop in Holland. 1,75€.
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg.
Hazy amber with a huge (yuge!) white head. Heavy citrus hops aroma. Fairly bitter taste and a massive body for a 4,5 ABV beer. very nice.
Bottle. As "De Molen Amerikaans" - Amber in colour. Aromatic spicy hops. Citrus-fruity (oranges, grapefruit). Hoppy (grassy and piney hops, Amarillo). Malty base (toasty malts, caramel). Mildly sweet. Dry, bitter hoppy finish. Very drinkable. Nice beer. (2008)
Bottled 330ml. -at Pivoteka Zagreb. Clear golden coloured, medium sized white head, fruity nose. Sweet malty, oranges and light grapefruit, some grassy hops with moderate bitterness in the finish. Bit watery but pleasant.
