based in Bodegraven, Netherlands, in the center of a hypothetical triangle with vertices as Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam, the mind of Brouwerij De Molen is Menno Oliver that after twelve years homebrewer, has made the big jump in 2004. Impressive activity and on and on, with more than 100 different beers produced in just six years (many of them just for once, to the delight of beer geeks ) which led De Molen, the attached restaurant, 5th place in the world rankings of the best breweries distilled in 2011 by Ratebeer and elections as the best brewpub in the world. Lens Hop (literally "spring hops", in this case are Saaz, then amarillo and in columbus dry hopping) is amber in color, cloudy. The froth that forms is ocher, creamy, quite fine and very persistent. The nose is very rich and pronounced, with an elegant bouquet of ripe tropical fruits (mango, lychee) and pine. The mouth comes very carbonated, medium body, proposing to a lesser extent fruit (grapefruit) and more emphasis on natural notes of pine and resin, but also of wood and earth. After all this wealth, a nice cut perfectly dry cleans the palate and then deliver a long bitter aftertaste, with hints of grapefruit and resin. A IPA really excellent, drinkable, tasty and fragrant. Curiously, the same beer is also produced as Zomer Hop ("Summer of hops"). Bottle of 33 cl., 6.2% ABV, 42 IBU, lot 04/06/2010, exp. 06/2015, € 5.60. _____________
