De Molen Borefts Pilz

Brewed by Brouwerij de Molen
Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier
Bodegraven, Netherlands

Bottle - Clear golden body, fine sparkle, big lasting white head; Very malty light nose with the hops missing; Strange malty bitter fruity acidy body (broken); Long finish, still acidy with a long lasting bitter bite. Not well composed, or broken?

Bottle from Bier Koning. Hazy yellow body. Spicy nose. Very hoppy texture. Enjoyable. Taste of fruits, hops. Grassy and quite spicy. Interesting taste, quite unusual. Hoppy finish.

Bottle, 5.0%. Weak citric and fruity aroma. Cloudy, almost muddy, yellow colour. Small, frothy, but stable, white head. The flavour is a lot better than expected, but not so pilzy. Fruity flavour with a hint of sweetness. Good dry bitterness.

Nice lager, with attractive flavours. There’s a nice balance between malty sweets and lot’s of bitters. Sweet at first, slowly overpowered by the hopps. Good beer when your’re thirsty, but also nice to have at spicy a meal. But actually i think from draught it taste more like a german white beer than like pilsner.

Comments: Generously aromatic, firm mouthfeel supported by the yeastiness. Very grassy, yet medium-full bodied. Kick-ass dutch lager!

Bottle. [thank you, Skortila]
Pours a muddy, pale yéllow with a small creamy white head with lots of lacing. Aroma is grassy and flowery with a slight malty background. Nice, creaminess to the mouthfeel. Flavour is bitter, citric, grassy then some malty sweetness and leaves with a good dose of bitterness. Pine, flowers and fruityness to the hops.

Tap from the mill.Slightly cloudy with a straw like color.Thick white head with hints of flowers and hops.Honeynotes.Afloral delight!!!

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of MiP. Pours a very unclear, greyish golden with a gigantic, white head leaving laces. Fresh, lightly floral aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet malt and a very soft mouthfeel. Floral hops and a rather bitter finish. 230807
