Op & Top is Brouwerij de Molen's hoppy blond session ale. A beer to replace your all-evening lager. This is very easy going, refreshing, hoppy and thirst quenching. Same as a lager, but Op & Top has flavor as well ;) Flavor indication: Malty, herbal, citrus Translates as On top & the best or something like At its best

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of hops with subtle notes of malt and yeast. Bitter flavour of hops with subtle notes of grass and malt. Mild finish. Slightly watery but OK.

Bottle at De Paas, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a big frothy white head. The aroma is rich fruity and hoppy. The flavour is dry, crisp grapefruit citrus with lots of dry acidic yeast on the palate. A very refreshing session beer.

27.07.2013, 0,33l bottle @ home:
Nice creamy slightly bubbly longlasting head. Aroma is fruity, light malts, citrus, hay, citrus peel, yeast, grass, herbs, hints of cardboard. Taste is slightly sour-ish, citrus peel, grass, hay, wet leafs, cardboard, herbs. Medium bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Boring!

Draft at ACBF 2011. Pours auburn with a thick, off-white head. Citrus hop nose, light caramel, honey and melon. Balanced flavor, some sugary malts, plenty of citrus, some pine and earth. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light warmth in the finish, some resin and rindy citrus fruits. Very nice beer.

Didn’t realize u was paying premium import prices for a bitter. These guys do it well but nothing overly special here. Pours cloudy orange with good head and lacing. Aroma Italy, some resin. Bitter finish. Bottle from Steamworks store.

Bottle - thanks Mr. Hangover! Pours hazy amber with a gigantic creamy white head. Takes forever to pour a full glass. I am sure it laces well, but come on!. Aroma is a light mix of pine, caramel, grain. Flavor is about the same. Minimal sweetness, light bitterness. Light bodied and refreshing. Not flat despite the amount of CO2 that went into foam generation. Pretty average beer
