Ipa fantastica! Aroma ottimo di frutta tropicale, il migliore che abbia mai sentito, sapore idem e sempre il migliore, retrogusto che rimane e non ti lascia più. Birra non sicuramente facile ma che se ne potrebbe bere a litri! La migliore!!!

Töképetes IPA. Szűretlen búzsörhöz hasonló hívogató opálosság, tartós hab a tetején. Grapefruitos tipikus IPA íz. Egyszerűen tökéletes.

Hazy bronze colour with a nice white head. Wonderfully hop packed aroma that led to a tropical fruit laced flavour, that oozed resinous hop. Perfect bitterness 42.6 IBU. One of my favourite beer!

Wowzer! What a great beer this was. Drank at Birmingham Post Office vaults last weekend, and I highly recommend you go out and try this one. I got a strong passion fruit/exotic fruit aroma, with a delicate malty background. This one’s all about the american hops and the explosive exotic fruits and citrus fruit taste was amazing. No big harsh hop bitterness either, which I find can often detract from the overall taste.

Znakomite IPA z Holandii, z młynskiego mikro browaru. Myglad i zapach to najwieksze plusy. kolor mocno metny, osadu az tyle co w belgiskich triplach. Jak na IPA to zadkosc. Zapach chmielowy, a jakby mialo byc inaczej, gozko i wytrawnie aromatycznie i zywicznie. Kolor smietany zabarwionej jajim zoltkiem, a piana jak snieg na mont everest. smak jak dobre klasyczne IPA

"Bottel" 488 (brewed 11. March, bottled 12. April). Wow! This pours an unclear brownish colour, with a massive, staying head. The aroma is amazing, with a very pleasant fruitiness and sweet hints of strawberry and honey. A full body hits you with a good, caramelly malt, with a slight hint of toffee, and finishes of in a dry, bitter finish of citrus. The carbonation is not really that aggressive, but due to the marked yeast residue it goes on and on, adding to both the palate and the everlasting head. What starts of as a fabulous IPA, ends up as an extraordinary ESB hybrid, with a long, bitter aftertaste.

Orange pour with pinkish hazy hues. Aroma is very floral and extremely citrus hoppy, Amazing taste as well with juicy grapefruit, pineapple, and resinous hops. Finishes leaving the tongue salivating. Good lacing. Excellent ipa from De Molen.

Cask, Lincolnshire Poacher, Nottingham. Was lucky enough to stumble in and catch this on over the summer. The cask had crossed the north sea courtesty of de wildeman crew in amsterdam to celebrate their ’twinning’; and stonkingly good it was too. Hazy bronze colour with a nice white head. Explosive hop packed aroma that led to a tropical fruit laced flavour that oozed resinous hop. Perfect bitterness. Lip smackingly tasty stuff. A fantastic beer, and I haven’t enjoyed a few pints of anything more than this so far in 2009....

Aroma: The smell is citric, bitter oranges, grape-fruit, peaches and melons. Some floral notes, grass, pine needles and resin.
Appearance: The beer is clouded amber, has a large off-white head taht settles slowly and a bit unevenly, leaves good lacing.
Taste: Some toffee and brown bread initially, then grape-fruit peel, oranges, and a good grassy bitterness.
Palate: Medium carbonation, intense small bubbles, a good body and a long dry finish.
Overall: A fresh hop intense IPA.
Note: Bottle 330 ml. Reviewed 2011-04-11.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2011 33cl bottle bought @Bir&Fud Beer Shop (Rome) - Deep, cloudy impenetrant amber color, dirty white foam. Astonishing aroma of hops, it remind me the Re Ale Extra, but it’s more resinous and dry. Taste is very good, bitter and dry. Notes of resin, oak, citrus, grass and pomegranate. Medium body. Excellent!
