3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours orange, moderate mouth feel. Aroma is rather spicy. Flavor is citrus with some banana and spices. Somewhat sweet. De Dolle impresses again!
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy golden color with thick, creamy head and thick lacing. Gigantic yeast aroma with bananas, lemons, orange, taste is similar with sweet and sour tangerine, nutty malt, a bit spicy. Extremely carbonated but I don’t have a problem with that.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
The aroma of this beer was much better than the flavor, which was overpowered by the champagne-like carbonation. The aroma had a ton of bubblegum and malt, but the flavor was very dampened by the dry carbonation. Most of what was noticeable on the palate was the dry aftertaste. Tria, Philadelphia
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden with small white head. Aroma is super bubble-gummy with sweet fruit. Taste is dry, with distinct apples and pears. Carbonation is vigorous, perhaps bordering on severe, which serves to underscore the dry woody character of the finish. $5/11.2oz
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This was a gusher, but didn’t taste infected. Bottle opened up with foam inching out of the bottle, and poured mostly head. Aroma was just amazing, nice fruits and light malts and hops. Flavor was similar with some spices and stronger malts. Really good...wish more of it wouldn’t have been wasted on overflowing head.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Copper pour, huge white head that stays big the whole time. Aroma is vinegar, orange, belgian gueze like yeast, straw and spicy. Flavor is sweet with lots of honey sweetness a touch of caramel, hay, grassy and bready. A touch of yeasty sourness, a good amount of hop bitterness, spiciness and citrus throughout. Complex flavor, full body and lots of lively carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
mostly lasting average fizzy white head with good lacing. cloudy orange body. aromas of ripe fruit, moderate vinousness, light hops, and some spicyness. flavor was moderately acetic which subsides as taste buds acclomated to ale. duration was moderate in length. quite enjoyable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy orance/gold color with a large dense head, yeasty nose, bitter/ sour flavor with a good dash of spice, finishes dry. This beer has a lot of good qualities but they don’t seem to work all that well together as a whole.
