De Molen Engels

Brewed by Brouwerij de Molen
Style: Bitter
Bodegraven, Netherlands

Cask at GBBF 2006. An unclear orange beer with no head. The aroma is very American with notes of grapefruit reminisence of Cascade. The flavor is a bit watery with notes of fruit - especially oranges as well as light notes of malt leading to a slightly acidic bitter end.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Hazy deep golden with a dense off-white head. Fresh citrusy hops in the nose. Light body, not much of a malty feel but completely dominated by good aroma hops that leave a solid bitterness. 221108

Bottled at Monk’s Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Lightky hazy golden with some sediment and rich firm head. Lovely mango/pineapple aroma. Sweetish and light bodied, soapy and perfumy.

Bottle, 5.0%. Very nice hop aroma, fruity, refreshingly grassy, and sweet. Hazy golden colour. Small stable chalk white head. The flavour starts off with a distint, clean bitterness. There is also some of the same hoppiness as in the aroma, though more flowery than fruity. Has a little watery notes in the finish, but still nice. 7 3 7 3 15
