Silkeborg 22/7 2020. 33 cl bottle from Netto in Billund. De Molens usual austere design with neat and detailed writing in black on a white label. And the small logo with the Mill.
Pours murky orange with a medium-sized white head. Settles as thin almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is intense with a sweet maltiness mingling with citrus fruit. Light odor of exotic fruit with peach and pineapple. A bit of arm sweat. Citrus and grapefruit.
Medium strong carbonation. Thin, watery, tingling texture.
Flavor is moderately intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish. Lingers for a bit. Finish is bland.
Got some real nice “hugs” but the “kisses” could use some intensity.

not bad this session IPA. Not overly exciting but also nothing wrong. a bit thin of course, but well balanced bitterness. not enough of the mosaic dry hopping shining through to make this great.

Slightly hazy dark orange color with frothy off-white head. Aroma has orange notes, earthy hops and some tea leaves. Taste follows with the tea notes but on the finish you get more fruity orange notes and a light pink grapefruit bitterness. Light to medium body, medium plus carbonation. Overall it's a quite tasty IPA for the low ABV.
