bottle from bierkoning, amsterdam. Outstanding beer! Creamy, subtle refreshing, peppery hop taste though a decent red ale maltiness. Marcel, brew us more, more!!

I first spent some time smelling this beer and then decided I needed to write a review immediately. The aroma is great. It has something of coniferous trees, tangerines and hop. The brew looks like a good low countries amber beer ... the kind you cannot really look through even though it is not dark at all. The first sip goes down smoothly and retains all the qualities of the smell. It is well rounded, fresh, but also strong and characteristic. If De Snaterende Arend keep it up like this, then Brouwerij De Molen has a serious contender for innovative brews made on Dutch soil.

On tap at Arendsnest. Wicked. Bright orange color with nice head. Hoppy and citrus nose. Prickly soft texture. Oranges in the flavour and lots of grapefruit throughout and bitter in the finish.

33cl Bottle at ’t Arendsnest. This beer is now brewed at De Molen, no longer at De Prael. And it shows, this is one hoppy beast! Hazy amber orange colour, dense fluffy off white head. Aroma is superb, almost perfect with lots of very nice grapefruit aroma’s, resin, sweet and spicy, bit yeasty. Flavour is sweet, grapefruit, caramel, citrus, resiny bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Just gorgeous! Will be available on tap soon, as I’ve been told.

Tap @ Arendsnest. Aroma is hoppy (some grapefruit). Clear, amber coloured with a large, off-white, lasting head. Taste is bitter, hoppy, citric. Really good brew.

Tap, Arendsnest. Wall-menu stated 6%, Cambrinus website 5.5%. I don’t know exactly where this brew was produced, but it’s from De Snaterende Arend and that’s most important. Clear amber color, big off-white head. Aroma of fruit like grapefruit, american hops, some pine. Very nice. Bitter and fruity taste. Bitter palate. One way or another: quite nice!
