Birra dal colore dorato arancio con schiuma bianca.Al naso risalta il malto e il classico luppolo fresco di Poperinge.Aroma fresco e fruttato (agrumi), piccante con alcune note di dolcezza. Ha un particolare gusto secco ma comunque dolce (banana,arancia) contornata da una piacevole acidità.

Fluffy off white head. Medium Belgian aromas and a tart belgian taste. Not as good as i remeber it from when I was in Belgium.

33cl bottle. Murky golden colour, good lacing and perfect lasting. Aroma is yeasty, slightly alcohol and moderate sweet malty. Flavour is moderate caramelish, sweet, moderate bittery. Good balanced. The final is slightly bittery with a medium duration. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high.

In 33Cl bottle at Against the Grain. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a lot of head (my bad). Leaves lots of pretty lacing on the glass. Smell is predominantly hops with some pear/apple tones and a bit of honey. Carbonation is quite active in the glass and on your tongue, though not too harsh. Taste is both sweet and bitter. The bitter hopiness is a bit pronounced, a bit like an IPA and has a slightly floral lean. The sweetness is certainly honey and dissipates quickly. A slight bitter aftertaste lingers for a while. Quite drinkable.

24/12/2011 330ml bottle. Ambrata chiara, abbastanza limpida, bellissimo cappello di schiuma bianca, morbidissima e incredibilmente persistente. Al naso sentori di lieviti, spezie, malto e luppolo mixati in maniera incredibile. In bocca è fantastica, attacco moderatamente dolce, malto, quindi finale amarognolo, secco, pulitissimo. Magnifico. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Una birra da manuale.

Another great beer from De Dolle. Rich and warming, but restrained enough to make it quaff able. Lots of fruits and spices and of course bubblegum and bananas with a slightly funky spicy yeast note. A nice solid bitterness to finish. Not too complex, but it doesn’t need to be. Excellent.

Bottle. Clear golden pour with a huge white head. Very lively beer. Sweet aroma with a lot of fruits and some spices. Smooth taste with the fruits again and very nice bitter hints. A good combo between sweet-bitter. Some carbonation. Beer reminded me of a Duvel. Overall, a very nice beer but maybe I expected a bit more.

33 cl bottle @ Durty Nelly’s irish pub, Borgomanero (NO), Italy. Foamy explosion after opening, had to pour it very quickly at first. Nice golden colour, very thick, white head with coarse bubble texture. Funky, peppery and spicy notes, some piney, hoppy hints and malt sweetness coming out from the back. In the mouth the malty taste comes out a little bit more, always with the peculiar funkiness (I don’t really know how else I can describe it). Lively carbonation, very pleasant. Finishes long and aromatic. A must- try!
