Bottle: Medium to bigger sized, vast and very slowly changing creamy (off) white foamy head on top of a hazy orange colored beer. Aroma is very hop and IPA fruity with some bubble gum, sweets, not much else. Flavours of bitterness, flowers, loads of thin hop fruits (peach, grapefruit, exotic fruit), some yeast, and again not much else... Pretty thin and watery. Aftertaste is mostly bitter with a floral touch. Low carbo, soft creamy mouthfeel, medium body and a thin and creamy texture... Very thin flavouring pleasure. Also aroma is quite thin. Palate is a pleasure and there is a good bitterness. But I don’t really taste much and wht I taste is quite watery... Pity, expexted a lot more! If this was a 2,5% abv beer, I would believe it too...

33cl Bottle from deanso, thanks Dean! ABV 6.1%. Slightly hazy orange colour, off-white head. Aroma of pine, tropical fruits, toast, hint of weed, sweet malts. Flavour is medium-sweet, malty, fruity, tropical fruits, pine, weed, light burnt caramel or toast, bitter fruity hoppy finish. Light-bodied. Nice IPA.

Tap @ paas. Hazy orange pour, rocky white head. Aroma of floral hops, some yeast, fruity and with pineapple. A bit murky. Flavor is quite bitter hoppy and yeasty. Nice brew, but a bit messy.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 21 Feb 2013) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of honey, peaches, bready malt and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with peaches, honey, bready malt and slightly soapy hops in a finish with a balanced bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Not one of the most exciting IPA’s from De Molen, but quite nice.

Draft @ de paas. Pours an unfiltered blonde beer with a decent amount of white head. Light floral aroma with citrus notes. Moderate bitter flavor with a medium dry finish. Decent beer. Long aftertaste.

Draught @ ’t Arendsnest, Amsterdam. Rated on 24.2.2013.
Pours a hazy orange colour with a large foamy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, kiwi, floral notes and sweet caramel. Flavour is bitter with floral hops, tangy grapefruit, grass, sweet fruits such as kiwi and pineapple. Medium bodied, high carbonation and a very fruity bitter finish. Not extremely bitter, but extremely fruity instead. Great.

Draft at De Paas. Pours hazy golden amber with a white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, kiwi, citrus, orange, lovely! Flavour is light sweet and moderate to heavy bitter. The aroma elements are short lived but the bitterness goes on. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A really nice beer!

Bottle @ home. Aroma is fruity and floral hops, some malty notes. Flavour is dry fruity hops, some biscuit malt. Bit over carbonated.

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2013 33cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy orange color, full sized long lasting white head. Almost perfect IPA aroma of lightly malts, hops, lightly grapefruit, fresh, citrus, blossom and a slight touch of perfume. Taste lightly malts, hops, grapefruit, fresh, citrus and bitter. Lovely IPA. Soft texture, medium carbonation, medium body.
