Commercial Description:
Nijmeegse Molbier was in the 17th and 18th century very famous and people far into Germany drank it. The city of Nijmegen has a rich brewing history. In 1635 the city had no less than 35 breweries. A transcript from 1649 said about Molbier that it was "a certain white which was refreshing and had pure power". There is little known why the beer was called Mol. Speculations say however that when drinking too much of it it would make you go blind. After 1800 there was no Molbier brewed for a long time until 1994 a part of history was revived with this beer.

(Bottle 75 cl) The label informs us, that the reason for naming this a "Mole beer" is not really known. But that it IS well known, that excessive drinking makes you blind as a mole.... Well, then you’ll have to down quite a few Mol-biers, as this is really rather harmless. Unusually (for a wit) this is brownish and hazy (like Dutch canal water....). But all the typical witbier characteristics are here, although I cannot for sure detect the exact spices - some citrus though. Very weak body, as would be expected. But very refined and complex flavour-pattern. Nice indeed. Thanks to Christine for bringing me this right from the source. 250797
