Very hoppy and spicey, more so than I prefer. Nice snow white head, nice gold color, and nice spicey aroma. Almost had a "melon like" flavor.Not sweet enough for me.

Poured a cloudy orange color with a huge foamy white head that just kept on coming. The aroma was of herbs, yeast, and citrus fruit. The flavor is big of citrus fruit, lemon and orange, and some spice as well. It starts off a little tart and has a little bitterness to it as well. Definitely get some funk in there as well. As it warms the taste is much better with more of the sweetness from the citrus fruit. This has a lot going on with it. The finish is citrusy and a bit funky as well. It is different and interesting for sure.

Pours a cloudy orange color that’s not all that attractive. A ton of thick rocky stark white head lies on top and slowly recedes. Aroma is floral and citric but not really acidic-smelling. The De Dolle funk is there but is low-key, and there’s a hint of herbs and white pepper in the smell also. The beer is hopping with carbonation and this suits the citric components well. Herbs and citrus off the bat and spice and funk on the finish. The funk has a little sourness to it, but it really provides a nice sharpness that compliments the herbal/citric flavors well. Pretty unique and I expected no less from De Dolle.

Gold blond coloured beer, light hazy. Average carbonation but a huge white head. Hoppy and yeasty, citrus grassy and herby aroma. Full, strong palate. Finsh is bitter, herby, warming alcoholic with a citrus fruity touch. Very powerfull and enjoyable beer.
