From a 330ml bottle on 27/12/2011. Pours an extremely murky dark apricot with lots of light yeasty chunks, and a billowing head, due to the excessive carbonation (took quite a while for the head to die down to become drinkable). Has a moderate but pleasant fruity, caramel, honey aroma, which is not over the top by DIPA standards. Flavour wise, it’s very sweet with caramel, toffee and fruity notes. But it’s remarkably lacking in bitterness for a DIPA. I’ve had the standard pale ale with a bigger hop kick. The texture is fairly creamy. Reasonably enjoyable but a long way from being top flight.

75 cl. bottle @ Delirium Hoppy Loft – my friend had to quit after the first glass & I finished the rest of the bottle \ Pretty sure that this is only a couple of months old but I cannot be entirely sure because I have no idea as to how much time I need to deduct from the best before date \ Label is unfortunately not one of their minimalist ones which they seem to keep for their Imperial Stouts & anything sold only in 18 cl. bottles \ Cannot stop trying new De Molen beers, their work is insanely out there and nothing like anything else anyone makes out there to the best of my knowledge \ Half of the time, I declare them insane for making them, sometimes they disappoint but when they are good they are incredible \ Hazy, bright orange with a slight copper hue, head looks almost like something which you would expect to find on a lambic and eventually vanished after not too long \ The smell on this immediately betrays what this is, this is pure, ultra concentrated hop, this is simply liquid, condensed Amarillo hop, smell is very, very bitter grapefruit mixed in with very bitter pine & bitterest tangerine peels ever encountered \ Taste is bitter hop blast at first, enjoyable harsh bitter grapefruit which goes into the extreme to the point that it almost becomes herbal, very bitter herbal actually, touch of floral even, once your tongue becomes numb or you simply get used to it, it starts becoming fruity with apricot, peaches, lemons, you start getting a sweet malt-base buried underneath all the pure bitterness & a hint of yeast \ Medium carbonation, body is a bit like I would imagine hop oil to be but almost something sticky in there as well \ This is a pretty amazing pure hop experience, keep up the good work Molen

33cl bottle from DeMolen beer store. Bottled on 9/5/2011, shows different hop profile, Sladeck, Saaz and Amarillo. Couleur cuivre, col épais crémeux beige. Arôme de malt pale, caramel, léger grillé, nez houblonné de citron et houblons allemands suivi de fruits tropicaux; pamplemousse et levure. En bouche, bière n’apparait vraiment pas comme étant à 9%, malt grillé, note sucrée et sec avec un profile citronné et épicé mais au final je trouve la bière beaucoup trop épaisse en bouche et trop sucrée et douce avec en retrait juste une pointe d’amertume et de fruit; notamment du pamplemousse mais qui semble couvert pas une sorte d’épaisse levure et caramel/toffee.
