De Molen Kannen & Kruiken

While I was finishing off my H&V I browsed through the list of beers and found another De Molen beer that wasn't to expensive.

De Molen Kannen & Kruiken (Bottle) 6,2%
This is an IPA, dry hopped with Cascade, Chinook and Galena.

Appearance:
4/5
It poured a hazy dirty orange-brown liquid with lots of yeast floating around and a small white foam that left no lacing.

Smell: 7/10
Very strong smell of honey. Also yeast, hops, something sweet, malt and hint of nuts.

Taste: 7/10
Lots of honey, also yeast, malt, sweetness, hint of hops and some hop resin.

Mouthfeel: 5/5
Very smooth and nice mouthfeel with a medium body.

Comment:
Nice beer that was easy to drink, but it didn't feel like an english or american IPA. More like an ale spiced with honey. I think this beer would work well with most foods, specially salty food. Well regular home made cooking.

Total: 3,7/5
