5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Aroma of malt, oak, aceton, dried dark fruits, hint of funk. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate sour. A bit heavy and boozy desipite the relatively low ABV. Too much aceton. Disappointing, not to my liking.

Bottle at home, as "De Molen Amerikaans". Aroma of fruits, citrus, orange, yeasty notes, some malt, hint of pine, hops. Flavour is lightly sweet with a dry moderate bitter finish. Well-made hoppy fruity beer, light and refreshing.

Bottle at home. Aroma of light malt, hay, soft cherries, bread, hint of yoghurt, red fruity notes. Flavour is light sweet and light to moderate sour. Body is light. Easily drinkable and refreshing, but could have used a more outspoken aroma and flavour. Still, enjoyable.

Bottle at De Drie Dorstige Herten, Utrecht. Aroma of ripe fruits, orange, lots of pine resin, malt, caramel, shitloads of hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Body is full. Interesting hop bomb of a beer, but pine resin and sweetish ripe fruits are so overwhelming that there’s no room for fresh fruity bitter hoppiness to shine.

3.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 2.5
Bottle at home. Aroma of wasabi, mustard, pickle juice, vegetable, spices. Flavour is a bit sourish. Body is light and weak. I hate mustard and I do not care for pickles. Interesting, but... Yuck.

5.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottle at home. Aroma of lots of honey, citrus, orange, malt, caramel, some pine resin, hops. Flavour is big honey sweetness with a bittersweet finish. Body is medium. Ridiculously sweet, but the hoppy citrus fruity notes bring some balance to it. Interesting, but one bottle is more than enough.

5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5
Bottle at home. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, toffee, overripe fruits, syrup. Flavour is quite sweet and sticky with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Body is thick and full. Not an easy drink, a sweet slow sipping beer, a bit Barley Wine-like. Not really my kind of beer.
