Stort vitt skum ovan den lätt grumliga honungsfärgade ölen. Blommiga och fruktiga dofter, med inslag av skarpa örter. Jordiga smaker, tillsammans med fruktighet. Svag beska. Torr och kolsyrig munkänsla.

0.33 L bottle. A finger of dense shiny blond head, upon a foggy golden-yellow body. Fresh hop nose. Dusty and grassy with a little citrus fruits to it. Medium body. Sparkling carbonation. Taste is gently sweet and fruity-hoppy. Crisp pale malts underneath. Fruity hops linger in the finish. A nice one.

Bottle from Haumanns, Aarhus. Clear dark golden with a big off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and moderate hoppy - citrus and peach. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 030112

Golden copper blonde with a thick bubbly white head fading quickly. Fruity malts dominate the aromas. Light body, strong carbonation with big bubbles, a bit overcarbonated for the style, light minerality, light bitternes, finishing a bit oily. Must have had better days and probably nice when fresh, altough it is just 6 months old, but it feels a bit tired ovet this side of the Atlantic.

330ml bottle from Bacchanalia. Bottled in Feb 2012. 5.3%. Clear, pale amber. Pours large, white head, disappearing to few patches. Mid carb. Aroma - Smells like a witbier to me, which is odd, since it apparently has no wheat in it. Spice and wheat-beer yeast. Some dry citrus. Taste - Fairly dry and cereallish. Not much in the way of interesting hop flavours, just simple bitterness. A trace of citrussy hop flavour, but mainly just a sort of cleanly bitter & wheat malt flavour. Some spiciness. Finish is short, slightly bitter and not much to it. Body is light, palate is clean, bit astringent. Unusual, but not that tasty or interesting. At least, it’s kind of refreshing and palate-cleansing.

Citrus and light caramel in aroma. Pours slightly hazy, amber orange. Great, fluffy, white head. Tastes of mandarin, slight pine. Hints of toast and caramel. lacking a bit of body. Good and moderately bitter finish. Nice APA in my opinion, not an ESB.

Bottle at home. Pours clear golden with a big fluffy white head. The aroma is spicy hops, grapefruit, yeast, light plastic, citrus and some exotic fruit. The flavour is pleasant bitter with notes of pine, citrus, grass, peaches and has a long bitter finish.

Clara, de color amarillo con bastante espuma, suave y que se pierde lentamente. Olor cítrico junto al amargo de los lúpulos. Suave y con poco cuerpo, pero se bebe con facilidad y es bastante refrescante aunque conserva su carácter amargo y tiene un final ligeramente seco. NO es la mejor de De Molen, pero es una buena bitter a muy buen precio.
