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!

Huge creamy beige head stayed on a still amber body. Minimal aroma of malt & & spice. Medium to full bodied, smooth to the fore & tingly on the back. Sweet malty tastes with plenty of demerara,spices & pepper. Good sipper

Shared a bottle at home with Rabo. A very good beer. Foam disappears quickly, but is has a good aroma, amber color, a good bitterness.

Bottle from an Albert Heijn in Ghent. Pours clear amber with a diminishing, off-white head. The aroma contains toffee and caramel (especially in the smell), spices, hops, earth and nuts. It tastes light sweet and medium bitter with a dry, hoppy finish. LIght/medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Interesting enough, though it feels a bit too ’ripe’ for me.

Oranje bruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is krachtig, bitter en licht zoet met iets van karamel en bessen. Stevig biertje.
