As refreshing as Spring itself. Loads of citrus, grassy and earthy hops reminding you of a light rain in an orchard in blossom. Flavour indication: citrus, grassy, earthy.

Bottled from Mitra Bunnik, dated 03/02/14, large sample, served in a shaker. Hazy golden to orange color, medium frothy off-white head. Aroma is soft hoppy, some grapefruit, some caramelly malt. Medium bitter in taste, some caramelly and cookie sweetness. Decent bitter finish. Much better than previous rating, although it still can use a bit more aroma hops. 3.6 Tap @ Lammetjesdag 2013, Flapcan. Hazy copper color, medium head. Aroma of some grassy hop, not the refreshing hops that are familiar with de Molen. Some caramel malt. Quite bitter in taste. Flavor is better than the aroma, which is rather disappointing (for their standards). 3.0

Tap at Braukunst Live 2013. Herbal hop aroma, light wood and earth. Mellow chewy mouthfeel , grainy, onions, light grass and tropical notes. Chewy. Not entirely harmonic, but fresh and pleasant enough.

A very fresh bottle, not even a one month old. An orange beer with a weak and blond head. Aroma is intensive, tropical fruits, peaches, fructose, some bananas and hint of citrusfruits. Taste is fructose and sweet, then fruits, drying aftertaste with some pine. This feels more like DIPA and freshness of IPA isn’t there. Medium+ bodied, low carbonation. Not totally convincing beer, should be more refreshning.

This is NOT an IPA, however it is a very pleasant easy drinking beer.Overwhelming head, light malt nose and profile,medium hop finish I quite lie this, and it could score much higher if it was more akin to an actual IPA

Pours gold into a snifter. It’s a gusher... foamy head fills the glass, craters and recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Lemon and yeast aromas. Sweet yeast and caramel turning dry and citrusy in the lasting finish.

Whole orange and pineapple nose. Cloudy amber, enormous yellow head, full of chunks. Unlike the aroma, the flavor is decidedly less fruity. Spinach and parsley, with lemon zest. Harsh fizzy mouthfeel. Leafy, dry, and bitter. Unappealing.
