De Molen Amarillo

Brewed by Brouwerij de Molen

Fills your nostrills from first contact and it lasts to the last sip. Also grat taste from first sip, great hoppy aroma of hartz and grape fruit, a bit swetness. Lovely sweet hoppy aftertaste.

Bottle (75dl):Amber to deep amber coloured, almost clear; citrussy and pepery hoppy nose, a bit sweet - too, bigger very stable off-white head,sticking to the glass; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, smooth; dry lingering piney-hoppy finish. Superb.......

0.75l from Bierzwerg. Cloudy yellow colour, large and persisitent white head. Intensive yhoppy nose with lots of lemon and citrus fruit. Full-bodied, intensively malty sweet, balanced woff with a huge amount of lovely hops, lots of citrus fruit, lemon grass and spices. Shy hints of clove. Very spicy. A delicious beer.

Pours amber with a large beige head. Aroma is caramel, hoppy, citrus and peach. Flavour is caramel, hoppy, peach and light grapefruit.

750 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 9.2%. On pouring the glass is filled completely with off-white foam, which only very slowly lets a hazy orange coloured beer appear. A huge rocky head remains, making the beer hard to drink. Lovely fruity / citrussy aroma of Amarillo hops. The flavour is a bitter and fruity hoppy explosion from start to finish, also resinous notes, some sweetness. A bit too much of the good stuff, methinks. Overkill. Gets better as the beer warms up a little.

(bottle, 75cl) Hazy, dark amber colour with a big and steady, slightly off-white foamy head. Fruity (citrus) and piney hoppy aroma with notes of bubblegum and peppery spice. Moderately bitter flavour, full bodied with a well-matured and calm carbonation. Cara-malty base with strong and aromatic hoppy notes of citrus, lime and pine, accompanied by phenolic spices; moderately dry and lasting bitter-sweet finish with a long hoppy tail. Superb. 03.III.10

Hazy orange with a low head. Aroma of citrus, pine and orange but also a strange sour soap-like note. The flavour is quite harsh: citric and dusty in an unbalanced way with sour notes and basement plus a clear presence of alchol. Perhaps the bottle was infected or simply not stored in an optimal manner.

E’ senza dubbio una delle mie birre preferite...nonchè una delle mie prime double ipa mai bevute...ce l’ho ne cuore!!! Aroma intenso di malto e luppolo ( molto erbaceo ).. Appena ci si bagna le labbra con questo prezioso "NETTARE" ci si accorge subito del dolciastro caramellato che ti lascia le labbra appiccicose , ma non si può fare a meno di rimanere entusiasta del persistente amaro che ti rimane alla gola ... Colore rossastro ... schiuma intensa quasi lo stesso colore dell’etichetta... semplicemente STUPENDA...
