De Molen Jong & Onbedorven (Young & Unspoiled) 2008

Formerly brewed at Brouwerij de Molen
Style: Wheat Ale
Bodegraven, Netherlands

Bottled at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. An unclear orangey beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and spicy (from being dry hopped with Amarillo), but also with notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet wheaty with notes of Amarillo hops and cloves, leading to a dry bitter finish. I like the idea of fermenting a wheat bock really warm - and then dry hopping it with Amarillo - now that is a fusion of styles - keep up the good work.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of jbrus. Pours a deep golden with a slight haze and a very lively off-white head. Astringent, leathery nose. Medium body, fruity and phenollic with quite some yeast and again an astringent, leathery - almost Bretty - and very dry finish. Delicious and quenching. 021109

Cloudy deep blond color. It has some banana aroma. The mouthfeel is quite dry and yeasty, with some malt sweetness and light wheat and banana, not impressive.
