MiP (4843), Flensburg, Germany Jan 18, 2008 Bottle, 5.0%. Weak citric and fruity aroma. Cloudy, almost muddy, yellow colour. Small, frothy, but stable, white head. The flavour is a lot better than expected, but not so pilzy. Fruity flavour with a hint of sweetness. Good dry bitterness. bierkoning (4636), La Tropica, Netherlands May 13, 2007 Updated: Sep 26, 2007Bottle, bought at the brewery. Citrus and even a hint of traubenzucker in the aroma. Firm hopbitter, citric flavor. Fine flowery and citric hopbitter aftertaste. First class thirst quencher and a good Czech type lager.
Exactly the same rating for the tap version: barnyard aroma. Fresh cheese and flowery hops. Flowery, citric flavor. There is a strong Saaz hopgift in this beer. Firm citric and flowery hopbitter aftertaste. Nice one! fonefan (4062), Ulfborg, Denmark Apr 3, 2008 Draught @ <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers//brouwerij-de-molen/4448/ target=_new> Brouwerij de Molen, Bodegraven, Netherlands.
