Bottled @ train after de Molen tasting, small sample. Slight hazy brown color, medium frothy head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity and piney hops, together with some grainy rye and some roast, but the IPA aroma is the most dominant. Quite bitter in flavor, just a bit caramelly and roast from the malts. Nicely balanced towards IPA, but with a subtle but obviously present note from roast and rye. Lovely beer.

CBC Session 3. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and a little crispy. Semi dry. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Little watery citrus and mild orange marmalade. Light dry finish. Okay.

Bottle from De Molen, shared with Slothez, Superbowl session. Murky amber pour with a small lingering off white head. Some grassy hop presence in the beak alongside summer fruit and yeast notes. Flavour was nicely fragrant with some sweet malts riding along with some nicely balanced hoppage and citrus. Well concealed booze. Very tidy effort, nice one.

Very hazy reddish amber beer, big fluffy pale cream coloured head. Palate is airy and light. Mild fine carbonation. Light airy malt, soft. Sweet tangy hops - piney. Rich berries and marmalade. Little hop spice. Light lemony tang. Airy finish with a bitter pine linger. Unusual but tasty!

Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub. Hazy orange color, huge white head that lasts for a long time. Aroma is lightly malty, incredibly fruity, citrus, grapefruit, loads of hops. Wow, very refreshing and lovely hoppy, I love the fruit hops and grapefruit aroma. Taste is malts, loads of hops, pretty bitter, lightly grassy, very fruity, again citrus and grapefruit. This is one of the best IPA’s I’ve tasted in quite some time. Very impressive! Medium to full body, a bit too highly carbonated. A superb balance between fruit hops and bitter hops. Great stuff. -- Note: second time I tried it the beer was considerably less good. Bottle was however not kept in perfect circumstances so that could be the reason. Because I just can’t be sure I’m going to leave the score as my original rating was.
