Bottled 75cl (BB 14/02/10)
Murky brown-amber color, small off-white head. Acidic diarrhea nose with some apple. Light palate, watery. Some fruity apple flavors, sticky yeast, low bitterness, just some harsh notes. One of the worst De Molen beers.

Corked bottle. Light amber color. Grapefruit and vanilla in the aroma. Citrus, apple, pineaple and a moderate but pleasant hop character in the very fruity, medium bodied ale. Some yeasty notes in the finish. Perfect session beer, tasty and even a bit malty. Makes you long for the first summer days.
