Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes hops, milk, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, citrus, malt, and milk, leading to a lightly bitter finish. The body is light. A bit boring.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a cloudy and opaque golden with a tiny white head. Fruity, peachy nose. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, fruit and caramel, dry and dusty hops, citrusy and astringent with a good bitterness. 030410

Bottle from De Molen. Pours a hazy orange beer with a good white head. Decent aroma with hints of some fruits. Taste was however great. Starts spicey bitter with a bitter ending. Great aftertaste! Spicey with hints of the hops. Good Molen IPA brew!

A Mes rate. Bottle at home.
A very attractive looking brew. Golden brown with a really good fluffy white head. Slightly soapy and a little hint of plastic but the longer the bottle is open the more it subsides. A fairly basic brew but the hops are adorable. Pitched just right, effortlessly drinkable, gorgeous grass and citrus, lovely restrained bitterness. Good length, good beer.

Bottle. slightly hazy orange body witha medium creamy white head. Fruity hoppy aroma with a good caramel punch. The flavour is floral hops, light sweet caramel, light herbal with a nice bitter finish. Bit pine and spruce in finish.

At pre ZBF 2010. Clear gold, thin white head. Bit of puke on aroma. Good hops though. Ooops, should have been more sober when I rated this as the description is a bit thin.

Bottle at home. Pours a clearish orange with an off-white head. Sweet and quite bitter. Hoppy and slightly spicy. Tiny hints of alcohol residual sugars. Medium bodied. Medim carbonation. Bitter finish.

33cl, new Dutch brew Anno 2010, from De Bierkoning Amsterdam, complex bitter brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2011 peach, aprikot, things like that with stones. A true IPA and indeed a burst of hops. my rating is lower because im not wild about aroma, appearance and balance, otherwise it’s good --- re-rate on May 10th - 2011 I wasn’t wild about the aroma first, but now I score that a 9. Apple, banana, and more fruit goodness. Also much more balanced

Pre- ZBF ... amber ... orange fruits nose ... light fruits ... spicy zezty hop ... low bitterness ... again some orange
