Bottle, 6.5% as De Molen Goudse Kuijt. Refreshingly sour hop aroma. Hazy orange colour, small white head and small floaties. The flavour is a bit watery, yeasty, fruity and vinous. Quite yeasty aftertaste. Not very flavourful, but OK. Reminds me of a pils. 6 3 5 3 13

Bottle 6.5% as De Molen Blond. Fruity aroma, acidic in the good way. Slightly hazy amber colour, small white head. The flavour is lot like the aroma, fruity with some lemony citric notes. Hint of yeast in the flavour. Nothing spectacular, but well-balanced and refreshing. 6 3 6 3 14

Bottled. Deep, slightly hazy, orangeish golden colour with big white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, grassy, zesty as well as some mild sweet maltyness. Flavour is quite much the same, with grassy and fruity long aftertaste.

Bottled as "De Molen Blond"
Amber-nut brown color, small off-white head. Honey sweet aroma. Sourish, a bit yeasty, evident candy sugar. Grassy hopping. Weird, especially that sourness.

Courtesy of Bierkoning. It’s unclear, warm yellow-golden with a nice head. The aroma has notes of yeast a hints of sewer. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of yeast, citrus and malt. It seems like something went wrong in this one, it’s not the usual high quality.
