Een bier voor de fijnproever, dit kopergouden zwaargewicht. De Columbus is een amberkleurig speciaalbier met lekker veel hop en alcohol. De grote hoeveelheden mout en bittere hop creëren een complexe, volle smaak. Een uitgesproken maar fraai uitgebalanceerd bier.
An amber, craft beer with generous amounts of hops and alcohol. This copper-gold beer is a real heavyweight and a must for beer lovers. The liberal quantities of malt and bitter hops create a complex, full flavour. It starts as slightly sweet with malty aromas of chocolate, fruit and grain, while the bitter hops stand out nicely in the aftertaste. A feast for the connoisseur!

Draught at the brewery. Light amber-orange color. Big columbus hop aroma and flavor. Very malty, lots of cereals, peaches, honey, citrus-orange. Sweet, with lots of alcohol and spice. Interesting, though maybe a bit too much.

bottle, mit Dank nach Bochum! Hazy golden colour with some floaties, very lively head, slowly growing out of the glass onto my table. Malty-fruity nose. Intensive malty base with fruity-herbal hints. Rather spicy with a decent bitterness - a very nice beer.

Had this on tap at the brewpub, Amsterdam, 27th Oct 2009 Pours hazy orange/mid amber in fact a touch puddly looking, there is a slim white head. Light spicy nose with possibly a touch of ginger powder. Wonderfully fruity and spicy beer, nice warmth from the alcohol, lovely citrus tang, some tropical fruit, good thrusty bitterness. Lovely beer in a great brewpub. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Bottle. A nice red / brown color with a large white head. Wonderful fragrance of mainly fruit, yeast, and various spices. Spicy taste with particular coriander and some cinnamon. Also some citrus and apricot. Quite a bit of sweetness. A beer that was easy to drink, medium body.

[9/9/09] Bottle at friends’ house in Amsterdam. Lovely hazy deep golden color with lively carbonation and a white head. Aroma of yeast, some wood, tropical fruits (mango and pineapple notes), some malt and mild . Sweetish flavor with malt, caramel, honey notes, fruits and yeasty spiciness that’s getting stronger towards a dry finish with some alcohol. Medium-bodied. 7/4/7/3/14=3.5
