De Molen Jong & Onbedorven (Young & Unspoiled) 2008

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

It’s a very hazy, dark yellow colored beer. It has a large thick foamy head. The aroma is malty, it has hop bitterness and it’s fruity. The taste is very malty, wheat and has hopbitterness, from American hops. And in the end it’s fresh, as a Spring bock, has to be. It’s good balanced. The totally taste is different, then the most of the Spring/May bock beers. I like this one very much.

Bier from Bier Koning. Swell orange body with generous head. Malty nose with some fruit. Very nice taste of wheat, banana and citrus. Finishes very hoppy. Enjoyable and quite refreshing.

[Bottle, thanks Islay!] Pours really hazy brown and gold. Aroma was really quite nice--definitely reminiscent of spiced pumpkin bread. Somewhat sweet initially, then spice and the bitterness that often comes from a lot of it, and finally some wheat. Medium mouthfeel with a long finish. Pretty nice, although the taste wasn’t quite as good as the aroma.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours brown with a small white head and a hoppy aroma. The flavor is initially sweet fuity and grainy (wheat) and gets really hoppy in the end. This is a very nice beer to enjoy with patience.

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.

Appropriate for a Spring seasonal. The aroma has Belgian yeast with flowers and herbs, like new vegetation after winter. Cloves and other spices in the flavor, some wheat. Brown color and a medium palate. I might have called this a spiced beer. Thanks to Islay for sharing this one.

Pour is a cloudy orange. Pepper clove aroma. Murky dirty brown pour, like apple cider. Nice peppery flavor; like sampling carrot cake. Solid beer for sure.

Bottled. Aroma is quite hoppy, yeasty, has some wheat and fruitiness. Hazy, yellow-orange coloured with a big, white head. Taste is quite bitter, hoppy, fruity/citric with some wheat and yeast. Medium bodied. Heavy, but refreshing beer. Good beer.
