I had a good moment with this session IPA, aromatic, hoppy and not strong in alcool, so if you drive, it is a good option, 02.07.18, at Prélaz , Lausanne.
gave a cheers!

Die Optik erscheint in leicht opaltrübem Bernstein. Obenauf findet sich eine weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone, die einen wässerig-flaumigen und mäßig gut haltbaren Eindruck hinterlässt. Die kräftige Duftaromatik überzeugt mit fruchtigen und kräuterigen Noten, mit denen eine zarte, feine Hefenote mitschwingt. Der Antrunk kommt kräftig, sehr fruchtig-kräuterig und feinrezent. Im Mund zeigt sich ein Körper mit schöner Fülle, sehr feiner Rezenz, seidig-samtiger Textur und schöner Trockenheit. Auf Zunge und Gaumen dominieren weiter die reiffruchtigen Noten von gelbem Steinobst sowie die kräftige Kräuterigkeit, wobei eine Art Salbei durchaus hervorsticht. Gesamtbetrachtet ein richtig gutes Bier, welches aber in der breiten Masse seine Schwierigkeiten haben wird, da es doch etwas spezieller ist und auch die Drinkability als etwas gebremst bezeichnet werden muss. Im Nachtrunk fallen die fruchtigen Noten rasch ab und eine leicht hefige und vor allem kräuterige, salbeiartige, aber auch trockene Note bleibt sehr lange stehen.

Small, if persistent just off-white head, dense, over finely carbonated veiled copper-amber beer. Stroopwafels with kaneel, sorry, cinnamon. Vanilla. This smells as it is named. Though the taste is less outspoken, still quite a lot of cinnamon retronasal. A bit of oxydized metal, in an acceptable way. And of course, stroopwafels (*). Quite well-bodied, very slick to oily, viscous. Bit of alcoholwarmth; chewy. For such a sweet uppercut, quite palatable, I must say. (*) Our northern neighbours are so proud of their stroopwafels. If you really want to know what that can be, try lackmans in Belgium... Txs to Stef!

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 25/08/2025.
Deep mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to a swirl and edgeing.
Nose is stewed fruits, vinous notes, caramel, dates, figs, booze, hint of whisky.
Taste comprises caramel, booze, stewed fruits, toffee fudge, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol.
Tidy sipper.

0.33 l bottle from 'Mr. Hop', best before February 2029. Black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty, gently smoky-medicinal and a little fruity aroma of dark chocolate, licorice, coffee, peat, seaweed and some dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, gently roasty-bitter, quite smoky-medicinal and slightly fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, whisky, peat, seaweed and some dark fruits, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly boozy and a little woody finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Lovely brew, fairly complex, quite outspoken. Will miss this brewery, even if it's already not the same as it once was.

Murky looking brown beer, small and short lived tan head. Smooth and mildly dry palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light but reasonably tasty malts, abundant caramel and cream, a little toffee. A bit of a contradictory thing going on, rich ripe fruits but, also quite vibrant. Smooth bourbon, as in, very smooth, a little oak induced vanilla. Rather good then. Sad that De Molen is no more but optimistic that Menno will take up the mantle again in Spain, but hopefully without the stress. Go Menno!
