Another excellent ale from the unmitigated geniuses at De Dolle. Not quite as complex as Oerbier for me, but still rich and full of flavour. Slightly sweet, but competently so. Lovely.

Great brew. Pours a murky golden brownish with a thick, and well retained head. Aroma is tart apple like fruityness and slight barnyard. The bottle I had was old, aged atleast 2 years; probably enhanced the flavor a bit. Very lively and bubbly mouthfeel, with subtle yeastyness. Upfront crisp fruit notes of caramel apples, and ripe pears with a slight toffeeish hint. There’s also a late and long bitterness. Nice beer.

33CL bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Pale golden color with a huge fluffy white head. Aroma is spicy and yeasty. Flavor starts tart white grape wine and finishes with a spicy, orangy, peppery dry bitterness. Light bodied and creamy with spritzy carbonation.

Bottle. High white and lasting head. Hazy orange body. Sweet fruity aroma. Dry hops bitterness with a good deal of carbonation and long aftertaste.

330 ml bottle, from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours a hazy golden amber, and my gentle pour gave rise to a huge and fluffy white head that left large splotchy lacing as it diminished. Sweet bready and fruity aroma, light citrus notes, lots of yeastiness, hints of spice and floral hops. Flavor is also sweet and yeasty with an interesting floral and herbal bitterness prominent as well from the generous hopping, lingering astringent and acidic taste. Medium body and fully creamy carbonation. Quite drinkable, but not quite what I was expecting from de dolle.

Gee whiz,I have had numerous bottles of this and never rated it. So I get one to rate and it seemed a little off so I will go by past impressions. Always seemed to be a bit spicey,doughy and a touch of fruit. My least enjoyable of the de dolle brews. Way,way to carbonated for me as it always seems to be hard to taste when the bubbles are taking the flavor off my tongue.

Bottle: Pours hazy golden with a huge, white head. The aroma is of yeast, light malt and citrus fruit. The flavour is sweet and slightly malty with notes of yeast, apricot, corriander and other spices. Creamy texture. Medium bodied. The finish is dry with some hop bitterness.
