Sjonnie & Peet

30th September 2018
Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Softish pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Very soft hop skunk. Piney orange, floral citrus and a mild citric peel bitterness. Mild tangerine. Smooth piney citric finish. Nice. And it's a few months old now, would love to have tried this fresh.

Bottle at home from DeBierkonig, 15th September 18. Pours an orange beer, with a large head. Aroma is caramel and citrus. Taste is smooth, some caramel and citrus and some bitterness. Not as west coast as I would like, but good.

Bottle at the Beach. Amber with white head. Sweet malts, caramel fudge, orange peel, some dank weedy onions. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation.

Bottle. Golden orange pour. Aroma of creamy pine, garlicy hop, bready malt, citrus and grapefruit. Taste has bitter creamy pine, garlicy mosaic hop, grapefruit, citrus and soft bready malt as backbone. Nice combi of piney hop and mosaic, I like this.

330 ml. bottle @ Beerlovers Bar. Darker orange, solid white head. Nose is old school pine, resin bit grainy, low harsh,… Taste is very grainy, harsh pine, orange peel, nice old school IPA, should be bit harsher but a pleasant throwback,.. Grainy.

IPA made by De Molen for a wedding apparently, thanks 77ships for sharing at Beerlovers Bar in Antwerp. Snow white, lacing, medium thick head leaving bubbly islands in the middle, hazy orangey to almost ruddy amber robe. Aroma of old crumbling biscuit and rusk, dried orange peel, sweet paprika powder, dried mango flesh, cheese rind, tomato peel, crackers, bitter honey. Fruity onset, primarily sweetish with notes of dried mango, orange and persimmon, softish carbo, smooth and full, bit fluffy mouthfeel; very rusk- and biscuit-like maltiness, sweetish, bit powdery, 'crusty', under a dried citrus peel-like, expressive and confident hop bitterness, dry and resinous, aromatic with notes of dried mango, paprika and candied orange. Not overpoweringly bitter nor attempting to cash in on the current hazy NEIPA craze: this is quite an individual, accessible, bit old school and typical De Molen IPA, very nice and easily drinkable.

thnx to Eugene ! Pours darker blonde, medium small white head. Smell and taste are pretty similar, showcasing a nice malty base and a full hoppyness. Reminding of those fine DIPA's anno 2012 de molen used to make. Lovely to revisit one of these kinda IPA's.

Bottled 01-06-18. Good body, excellent combination of hops. Bitter, little bit of pine, plenty of citra fruityness, even a tiny bit of cheese. Very drinkable, solid IPA, nothing weird, not very hardcore west coast'y, but I don't mind.
