4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
NBD, NY 11.2oz ($5.50): Pours with ridiculous amounts of head over a nice orange body. When the head settles it really looks great. Aroma is nice and fruity, with some yeast funk; it is kind of similar to the aroma of Stille Nacht. Taste is slightly sweet and fruity at the front and then the nugget hop bitterness hits and holds on for a lingering finish. Yeast is there in good measure, but not as extreme as in the Dulle Teve. As with all De Dolle beers, this is perfectly well crafted, extremely well balanced and unique. In fact, I would say that this is one of the hoppier Belgians I’ve had and I wasn’t really expecting that, but hey there it goes. Good. stuff, but not my favorite from my favorite brewery.
