Bottle. orange amber color. Tangerine, glue and grassy notes in the aroma. Apricot, gle and grassy hops in the flavor. Grass and plastic in the aftertaste. Good enough, but not the best beer from De Molen.

Butelka: Deep golden to light amber coloured, cloudy, big loose rocky off-white head; peppery nose of piney to herbal hops, subterranean traces of pale malt detectable; moderate to solid - quite - dry bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied and a bit tart; lingering piney-hoppy finish with a nice malty counterpart. Goed, goed! But why is a beer, that is bottom fermented, called IPA…?

(bottle, 33cl, slightly gushing) Hazy, deep golden to amber colour with a big and off-white foamy head. Yeasty, deep hoppy aroma with notes of mango, pineapple and grapefruit, as well as mildly flowery and spicy accents. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a modest carbonation. Fruity and slightly floral hoppy taste with funky yeasty notes and a sweet malty and delicately caramelly background; moderately bitter hoppy spicy and slightly fruity finish with a balancing malty sweetness. Nice little Belgian Farmhouse IPA from Holland. 20.VI.15

2014-02-04, bottle from Pibar, Lausanne, 6-5-6-2-11=30
bottled Aug 23rd 2013, hence a bit old

Light amber color, bright and clean, with generous frothy head. The aroma is hoppy, continental, a bit grassy and nutty, also lightly funky. The mouthfeel is dry but not weak; there was probably some extra refermentation in the bottle; malt flavor, some caramel, and a strong wood bitterness, a bit tannic; the hops seem old.
Average beer.

2014-01-22, bottle at På Besök, Malmö, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Deep blond color. The aroma is a bit stale, also hoppy and fruity, maybe they didn’t pour yet today. The flavor is very spicy, with light residual sugars, strong bitterness, late hop resins and some citrusy/orange bitterness.
Good.

0,33 bottle purchased at the Hoppy imp. in Greece and consumed in Kosovo. Bottle is produced 21/08/2013 (15 months old). Pours a reddish amber colour, oily texture, cloudy and with a huge and compact off-white head. Nose: very mild (the age?) feel of citrusy hops, grapefruit basically, a hint of honey. Mouth: not much to report (sadly), only some residual bitterness. It stays decent but I assume it was far better when bottled. My rating refers to this beer 15 months old then.

(Bottle, Jemten, Duved, Sweden, 15 Aug 2014) Hazy amber colour with big, off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, orange peel, dried apricots and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dried apricots, orange peel and slightly resinous hops in a finish with a generous bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Well made and tasty IPA. Nice one.
