Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2009. Hazy amber coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of hops and pine needles with notes of grass and grape fruits. Fruity flavour of hops, pine needles, grass and grape fruits. Hoppy finish.

Bottle at Grand Tasting RBESG 09 Sheffield. Hazy golden with a thin off-white head. Very hoppy aroma, citrus, pines, resinus. Very bitter taste, citric hops, pine needles some yeast.

Aromatischer Hopfengeruch, in dem Cascade klar den ersten Platz einnimmt. Auch im Antrunk ist das Cascade Aroma führend, wenn auch nicht mehr so klar wie im Geruch. Neben dem klaren Hopfen minimal herb, eine scharfe Alkoholnote kann nur kurz hervortreten. Auch im Mittelteil stark hopfig, wobei dies milder zu werden scheint, zumindest erscheint der Hopfen nun runder und weniger aufdringlich als zuvor, wobei ich dies nie als störend empfunden habe. Zum Ende wenig nach Zitrusfrüchten, der Hopfen wird, obwohl die Intensität abgenommen hat, aromatischer und feiner. Cremiger Hopfenabgang, in dem die bisher zurückgedrängte Bitterkeit immerhin etwas an die Oberfläche kommt. 11/11/12/13/12/12

Copenhagen beer festival. Cloudy light brown beer. Whitish frothy head. Crisp palate. Well balanced fruity hops. Tastes sweet after the Mikkeller Stella 09.

Bottle: Hazy, loads of floaties visible, big stable off-white head, light amber coloured; sweet bready (brown bread) nose with the expected herbal-hoppy background; dry bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; a subtle fruitiness shows up in the stonger piney-hoppy and caramalty finish, followed by a light alcohol burn. Quite mediocre by De Molen standards.....

330ml bottle from Sliterij Van Bergen, Eindhoven, NL!
The beer in the glass is dark orange and opaque, with many beer yeast particles. Especially on the ground settles much. Fine, creamy and medium high head. Smells hoppy bitter, slightly citrusy. Above all, the magnificent Cascade hops through. The IPA starts milder than expected. Hoppy floral-grassy, with a fruity-sweet nuances. An IPA of a different kind: fermented fruity, but pleasant aroma hops, and in no way bitter. The further course is also extremely fruity, incredibly aromahoppy and just a little bitter. The whole thing is more in the sweet direction. Overall, an unusual but terrific horny IPA!!!

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, murky amber coloured hue with many ugly yeast-flakes and a light-beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and bready cara-malty aroma with subtle fruity and slightly ethereally herbal hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Bready malt-character with notes of caramel, brioche, subtle fruity notes and herbal accents; sweet malty and moderately bitter and herbal hoppy finish. Not particularly exciting. 08.XII.10

Bottle: Intensive fruity, hoppy nose, lemon hops, honey sweetness. Flavor is sweet, notes of malt and honey, lemon hops. Medium bitter, dry end. Long dry end. Very pleasant, tast IPA.

(330 ml bottle #183 @ Olutravintola Konttori, bottled 04/27/2009)
Reddish brown colour, no head at all. Loads of yeast when poured. Floral hops and spices on the nose. Fair amount of hops on the taste. Medium bodied with a yeasty mouthfeel. Reminds me of De Molen Amarillo, and I consider this as a light version of it.

bottle, kindly donated by Bierkoning. Cloudy yellow colour, some floaties visible, large white head. Intensive hoppy nose. Solid malty base with lots of resiny-citrusy hopy. Spicy and fruity. A delicious beer.

CBF 2009. Light grass nose. Cloudy yellow, low head. Bubblegum, citrus, grass. Light body.
