Delivers on so many levels.
7.2% ABV
Reviewed by RD
Colour: This pours a deep orange, pretty much crystal clean and well filtered. Large soapy bubbles create a foamy white head that retained for quite some time.
Nose: The aroma is initially sweet and full of fresh hops. Citrus accents with tangerines, some pine but certainly [...click the heading to read more]
Brouwerij de Molen
Fire & Flame! Well, thats what the google translator told me.
6.2% ABV
Reviewed by RD
Colour: From my experience De Molen beers are quite heavily bottle conditioned with lots of sediment, so pouring about three glasses full doesn’t usually result in crystal clear servings of ale. I was very careful in pouring and achieved [...click the heading to read more]

At the bitter end of things it's quite refreshing!

Colour: Clear copper colour with a little inkling of a white head on top.

Colour: Beautiful clear pale amber body with a brief and fizzy off white head. Nice level of carbonation.
