De Molen Vuur & Vlam

Vuur & Vlam is an overly hopped beer. Yet, it's not aggressive in its bitterness or too grassy from the hops, rather they have retrieved the fruit and floral aromas. This gives it a huge hop character without the nasty bitterness. The beer is a delicious American-style IPA. Very hop-driven with Galena for bittering, late hopping with Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe and Amarillo and also dry-hopped with Cascade. But for all the fruity and resinous hop flavours, there is a lovely balance with a caramel malt body to carry the bitterness.
