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!

Bottle: Orangey coloured, unclear with floaties, big "beaten egg-white"-like head, very persistent, distinctive sweet-fruity-zesty (oranges) aroma with hoppy traces; solid fruity-bitter flavour, quite full bodied; sweet zesty finish with a tartness and a good dash of hops in the aftertaste. Good, well balanced and nourishing stuff..........

Draught at the brewpub.
Pours a orange amber colour with small white head and fresh fruity nose. The aroma is malty, fruity and slight yeasty with notes of alcohol and spices. Some sediment at the bottom. Very good beer for the beginning of my Amsterdam beer hunt.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 2 Feb 2007) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with huge off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, orange, Seville orange and lots of spicy, flowery hops. Fruity taste with a nutty backbone (walnut?), notes of dried apricots, grapefruit and loads of spicy hops in the finish. Quite complex brew with a lovely spicy, hop character. Very nice!

(33 cl bottle at The Rover, Göteborg) Shady orange color, tan head. Sweet fruity and alcohol scent. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Sweet taste, a bit bitter aftertaste. Nice but maybe a bit too high alcohol level since it’s rather noticeable... 7/3/6/4/12=3.2 - Rerate (Bottle at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden) Cloudy orange color, fluffy white head. Hoppy and acidic scent. Spicy, bitter taste. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness. 8/2/7/3/14=3.4

Huge creamy offwhite head over hazy brown body. Acidic, spicy, yeasty aroma of wood. Taste is deep, spicy malts with cinnamon, spice notes. Tart, spicy cinnamon aftertaste. Powerful, drinkable, balanced, interesting. An excellent beer. (0.3l bottle.)
